US-Israel Strike on Iranian School Blamed on 'Outdated Intel', Not Joint Aggression
Reports are circulating that a recent US-Israel joint airstrike, part of ongoing military operations against Iran, struck the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school in southern Iran, resulting in approximately 175 civilian deaths. The incident is being attributed to “outdated intelligence” by outlets like The Hill, echoing a New York Times report. This narrative attempts to pivot responsibility for
the destruction of a civilian target onto abstract data errors rather than the direct actions of a joint military campaign. This current explanation of an “outdated intelligence” strike near Bandar Abbas follows a historical pattern for Western military actions. In 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, a US F-117 Nighthawk infamously bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing three
journalists. That incident was similarly dismissed as a mapping error, specifically a reliance on an “outdated” CIA map. Two decades later, the same convenient excuse resurfaces, even as the specific coordination between US and Israeli forces in this current operation against Iran becomes increasingly difficult to dismiss as merely supportive when B-52s are positioned and carrier groups steam in
concert. The US government has funneled over 158 billion dollars in aid to Israel since 1948, making it the largest recipient of US foreign aid, supporting a military apparatus now openly engaged in joint aggressive actions far beyond what is presented as self-defense. This long-standing financial and military backing fuels a recurring cycle where any 'collateral damage' is immediately whitewashed
