TEHRAN, IRAN—As groups of families and others gathered Sunday evening at cafes around Niloofar Square—a middle-class area in eastern Tehran—after breaking their fast for Ramadan, a series of explosions struck the area, leveling several buildings and killing over 20 people, according to witnesses at the scene and later reports from local news sources.
Witnesses who spoke to Drop Site said two explosions hit the area—a smaller strike in the vicinity, followed by a larger one that devastated much of the neighborhood, a tactic known as a “double tap” strike that is used to inflict maximum casualties.
Videos of the immediate aftermath of the attack showed several individuals dead and wounded as well as massive destruction on the street outside. In Cafe Ahla, next to the square, blood and debris soaked the floors. Several patrons who had been sitting there when the attack struck could be seen dead on the floor or with their mutilated bodies still sprawled across their seats.
Oh, good. The US and Israel are deliberately targeting civilians during a holy period. This won’t come back to bite the US at all.
It’s like they have zero idea what caused 9/11 in the first place.
And we’re still claiming to be doing this because the Iranian people were stuck living under a murderous and repressive regime? Or has he just dropped the act?
tonight radio-canada (the french-speaking counterpart to the CBC) was interviewing a lot of people from Iran, and one of the questions the interviewer asked was “so, with Khamenei dead, do you think people will go to the streets to protest their government and bring about regime change?” to which the interviewee just answered “no people are hiding and fleeing, Tehran is being bombed!”
so idk about the usa but canadian state media certainly seems to want to spin it as an act of liberation 🤮
There are Iranian grifters with relatively large followings (they do artificially inlfate their numbers though) among the diaspora still making this claim. When they talk I just hear: “Bomb my family harder , Daddy!”
He was afraid the guard would kill steal him
“but khomeini killed 2 million students in 2 weeks!!!”
Trump saw that and thought 'challenge accepted ’
Known “tactic” previously employed by the Israelis in Palestine, as well as by Assad in Syria, and by many other mindless butchers. They’re not interested in mission objectives or the safety of the world, they just want to watch their enemies burn. And some keyboard warriors in Europe and the US cheer this evil on. What has the world come to?
yeah the russians really love this shit on ukraine first responders.
it’s the calling card of a coward leading a coward society.
I think the world was always like this bro.
Well, Pete did say the US was no longer going to be following those pesky “rules of engagement” anymore. I guess this is what he meant.
You mean Pete "the famously anti-Muslim Christo fascist who sees himself as a modern day crusader and proud infidel " hegseth? He’s gotta get a better nickname
Nope, Americans have been doing double tapping for a while. Unironically thanks Obama.
And Israel too.
I’m an idiot that doesn’t understand facial expressions. What is this meant to convey? Or is it meant to be a commentary on many Americans being too large and sick to worry about what the government is doing to people?
As well as being too large and sick to do anything about what the government is doing, the photo is supposed to convey that they also look sad (teary eyes) and hopeless (distant gaze despite being close to camera and faint smile that isn’t really a smile).
Aren’t these the people the shag wanted to fight for him against the IRGC?
