Americans Killing Little Girls in Iran

 Much is being made of the US supposedly bombing the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Iran.

Stop and think for a moment. Is there any way it would be in the American interest to bomb a school in Iran? They are hoping for the local population to rise up against the regime. It would be perfect counter-productive, sheerly in terms of self-interest.

If the US is responsible, therefore, it has to have been a tragic mistake.

This certainly might have been a missile misfire, from either side. If a misfire, however, this is intrinsically more likely from the Iranian side, since American and Israeli missiles seem to be highly accurate in finding their targets. Iranian missiles, by their own admission, frequently hit civilian targets in neutral countries by error throughout the Gulf.

It is also obviously in the interests of the Iranian government to bomb a school in Iran, if they think they can pin it on the Americans. If you were going to do this for propaganda purposes, you would choose an elementary school. You would choose a girls’ school. Maximum sympathy, maximum outrage.

Is it too much to suppose the IRGC and the mullahs would do this to their own people? 

Why, when they have been shooting them down in the streets?
