For a very long time, the US military has prided itself on performing surgical strikes with the least amount of civilian casualties and collateral damage as possible. Israel prides itself in their capacity to inflict maximum pain and destruction.
Allowing Israel to lead and dictate our military operations (as stated by Trump and US officials) in any way, is leaving us soaked in blood and with a stain that won’t clean off for a very long time.
That is an unverifiable, unfalsifiable non sequitur that has nothing to do with the fact that American meddling and plunder in the Middle East enjoys bipartisan support. When it comes to the Middle East, yes: both sides are the same.

On the contrary, you know what’s an unverifiable and unfalsifiable non sequitur? Your apparent claim that a Democrat president would have invaded Iran.
Also, pointing out that Democratic presidents have continued wars started by their Republican predecessors is completely different from claiming that they would have unnecessarily began new wars if they had been in power at those times. Your point does not substantiate the claim you’re trying to make.
Parsi also shared video of a distraught woman who described an apparent so-called “double-tap” strike, a common tactic used by the US, Israel, and other militaries in which an initial bombing is followed up with a second one in a bid to kill and injure survivors and first responders.
“They killed everyone,” the woman said of the attackers. “They dropped the first bomb, then when people went to help, they dropped another bomb.”
Bombing schools, gymnasiums, hospitals, carpet bombing cities… Mark Carney do you still support this?

I don’t understand why there hasn’t been more of a response to his remarks (that I’ve seen anyway). I was appalled when he said it, but it seems like people are either ignoring it or trying to explain it away.

This is pure propaganda. Let me explain.
All friends and family we have contact with within Iran are not afraid of any strikes and describe the attacks as highly targeted. There is no “carpet bombing”.
The article cites NIAC, a propaganda piece of the IRGC, as a source, of which Trita Parsi is the head. All first-hand sources are directly controlled by the Islamic regime. The article even cites Hezbollah (!!!). I think this is very telling regarding overall credibility. Of course they have an interest in showing as high numbers of dead innocent civilians as possible.
Let’s say the number 500 over 4 days is correct. Of course this is tragic, but compare that to the 40 000 slaughtered by the Islamic regime on Jan 8-9. Iranians against the regime, which are the vast majority, see the US-Israeli attacks not as a start of the war but as a continuation of a war against the regime that has already started. The Iranians were screaming for foreign intervention, not because they necessarily like it, especially by the US and Israel, but because they see it as a necessity to get rid of the regime. Iranian civilians have tried and failed to get rid of the regime, because they lack weapons.
Iranians in general are pleased with the strikes on the leaders of the regime, there have especially been much celebration of the ayatollah being killed, but there is also a worry regarding what the war may bring, especially as they know that the US and Israel don’t have the best interest of the Iranian people in mind.
I’m not denying people are being killed. I’m saying there is some collateral damage but it’s probably a lot less than reported. In all conflicts there will unfortunately be some innocent people that die, this is impossible to avoid.
And yes, Iranians approve and even celebrate the attacks against the regime, of which they see themselves as hostages of. There are plenty of videos showing this. You should try talking to some actual Iranians.
Here’s a video of people calmly watching fires from burning buildings hit by missiles. They trust that they are not in danger, the strikes are precise.
Over 100 school girls killed. “Collateral damage” that the people are happy, ecstatic , thrilled to give.
No.
You are falling for Israel propaganda friend.
These people are not happy to be getting bombed.
Only a fucking idiot would believe that.
Only a complete dimwit would believe videos being shown on fox and cnn and then circulated on Instagram too, are real Iranians cheering that their children are being bombed. That their cities are being bombed by Israel and the U.S.
It’s playing on this idea that the u.s is the white savior.
We aren’t. And we never ever have been.
Regardless if most of the Iranian people wanted their leader gone or not, they aren’t cheering being pulled into a war where their civilians are targeted.
Think about how much you hate Trump.
Do you think you would be on the streets right now celebrating if Russia came here and bombed the piss out of D.C and killed a bunch of kids and civilians. But they also got Trump. And then after they killed him they also continued to bomb other cities. ?!
No really. Would you be cheering and say.
“Well that’s collateral damage.”?
Use your head.
Don’t fall for the lies.

So far I’ve heard official statements saying “The goal of this is to bring about Armageddon so that Jesus can return,” and “there won’t be any stupid rules of engagement.” Both from SecDef.
Meanwhile the official white house statement is that “the full scope and duration of military operations” is unknown.
This is literally an act of world sabotage by the doomsday cult in charge of the world’s most powerful military…

That wasn’t the case at the start of the Gaza genocide. They used to say how good they were at targeting and that they only did precision strikes.
Then I guess that they realised that nobody believed them but they weren’t going to do anything about it anyway so they stopped pretending.
Brother they can say whatever they want, we’ve had 60 years worth of evidence before their new Gaza campaign even started.
American sitouts: meh, both parties are the same. (Continues holding breath)
Blumaga: “American meddling in the Middle East is a new phenomenon that was invented solely by Republicans”
A Democrat in the white house wouldn’t have invaded Iran…

Do show me where I made this claim.
It was implicit in your original reply, don’t play dumb as if no one can read subtext.

So you are saying the bombing isn’t actually killing anyone and the Iranians actually approve of their cities being bombed.
How stupid do you think people are?
Genuine question.

And yes, Iranians approve and even celebrate the attacks against the regime, of which they see themselves as hostages of. There are plenty of videos showing this. You should try talking to some actual Iranians.
Can you provide these videos?
Most prominently, here’s videos from within Iran, celebrating the death of Khamenei:
