It's called Socialist Munition Drops.

Everybody deserves to die.

You can't bomb the next generation unless they hate you. Gotta start by killing Bilal so Mahmoud grows up angry and unstable.

This would have been a better OP. Be that as it may, I'm glad you were able to find something contemporary and verifiable.

Fuck that motherfucker. If thousands if not tens of thousands or more are celebrating your demise, you did it wrong.

And yeah, that goes for Charlie Kirk too. There was a way to be you and believe the shit you did without making half the population hate you. Nobody wanted to assassinate Tim Keller or someone like Russell Moore. Or even Billy Graham.

You can hold strong convictions, argue them forcefully, and still not turn yourself into a lightning rod for mass public loathing. The difference is tone, posture, and whether your public persona is built around persuasion or provocation.

When your brand is owning, humiliating, and enraging as many people as possible, you do not get to act shocked when the reaction is visceral.

If whole cities are popping champagne at the news of your exit, that did not happen by accident. That is the cumulative result of how you chose to show up in the world.

"the Mizan news agency reported..."

I'm going to need another source besides Iran state Media on that claim. So far, no one else is reporting that as verified. Also, TheGuardian is a left wing rag too biased in their reporting to be taken seriously.

Same reason I don't read Breitbart for right wing news hot takes.

This is from the conflict thread. It does include a different Guardian citation. Hard to find completely neutral sources.

Minab girls' school strike (Iran): what is verifiable so far, and what is not

01 March 2026
What is verifiable right now

There was a real strike event and real destruction at or near the girls' primary school site in Minab (Hormozgan Province). Multiple outlets have verified aftermath visuals (rubble, smoke, crowds searching) as authentic and from Minab.

The reported casualty figures (examples reported: 40+, 100+, 148+, 165+) are coming primarily from Iranian officials and Iranian state media and are not independently confirmed on the ground due to access limits and wartime conditions.

The school location being near a military linked site (often described as an IRGC related facility or barracks or base in the area) is repeatedly mentioned in major reporting. However, the exact relationship (adjacent, nearby, within a compound, or simply in the same area) is still not consistently documented with a single public, authoritative, map based finding.

What each side is claiming about who did it

Iran's official position: Iranian authorities have blamed the US and Israel, often described as a joint US Israeli strike during the broader campaign.

US position (public): US Central Command has said it is aware of reports of civilian harm, is looking into the incident, and emphasizes that it does not target civilians.

Israel position (public): Israeli military spokespersons have said they are "not aware" of an Israeli or American strike on that school or site.

Is there verifiable evidence it was a false flag (Iran hit it themselves on purpose)?

At this moment, there is no publicly available, independently verified evidence that conclusively demonstrates a deliberate Iranian false flag operation (for example, confirmed launch data, confirmed weapon fragments tied to an Iranian system, authenticated internal orders, or a credible independent investigation establishing intent).

There are competing narratives in circulation, including suggestions of an Iranian misfire or a secondary explosion near a military target. However, there is no reliable, independently documented investigation that proves either "US or Israel directly struck the school" or "Iran deliberately struck the school" beyond dispute.

What is verifiable today is narrower: (1) the site is real, (2) the strike damage footage is real, (3) the death toll numbers and perpetrator attribution remain disputed and not independently confirmed.

What would make attribution verifiable (what to watch for next)

A credible independent weapons identification, including high resolution images of fragments, fuse parts, guidance sections, or tail kits matched to a specific munition family, with proper chain of custody.

Satellite imagery time series showing (a) the exact impact point, (b) nearby military target impacts, (c) blast patterns consistent with a specific munition type, and whether the school was the aimpoint or collateral damage.

An official incident review (US or Israel) with target lists and strike logs, or an independent UN style fact finding report with on site access.

Multiple consistent eyewitness accounts that are independently corroborated, not only state media and not only social media.

Bottom line

Confirmed: strike damage occurred at the Minab girls' school site, and verified visuals exist.

Not confirmed: who launched the weapon that caused the school deaths, and whether it was direct targeting, collateral damage from a nearby strike, an accident or malfunction, or an Iranian misfire.

No verifiable proof, at this time, of a false flag.

I'd probably cheer at inflicting pain on such an evil administration as well.

We are living in the future. ChatGPT does in ten seconds what it used to take hours or days of scouring the web to do, never mind the dark ages of pre-internet fact checking.

But...who checks the fact-checkers?
