"These actions constitute the deliberate commission of the most heinous crimes of international concern. Indifference to this ongoing and extreme injustice will only further darken the future of humanity by jeopardising the shared values upon which our global community stands,” he wrote in a post on social media.
Pir Hossein Kolivand, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, wrote a letter publicised late on Sunday to the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), demanding an explicit condemnation of attacks impacting children and educational and medical centres.

Good luck, we can’t even hold companies accountable for shooting up our schools, or our own government for executing people in the street and we’re the ones launching the missiles
Iran better hurry up and make some billionaire friends fast
“Iran opening up Epstein Island 2.0 and free girls for anyone who builds an AI datacenter in Tehran.”
Teheran is quickly running out of water even without new datacenters.
That’s what would make it so appealing, apparently
whoa, did i miss somehting? what company shot up a school?
Lockheed Martin
and what justice for the thousands you killed last month?
Shhhh, Iran is the victim now.
What are the Iranian children guilty of?
They’re guilty of being hated by Islamaphobes
We literally started a war with Iran by bombing the shit out of them lol.
What are you on about?

So the US involving itself and killing more people is the right answer. I see.
Stupid reply.
Volant Media is strongly biased towards the west and not a trustworthy source.
They‘re also absolutely intransparent in regards to their funding.
I love how you wrote all this up like I care about that source or that it’s the only source that has reported this.
It was the first result from a quick search. Take your pick: news.google.com/search?q=Iran+Kill+Protesters&hl=…
You really gonna pull “whataboutism” on the topic of dead children?
Why not? It won’t lead to anywhere anyway: Russia burned hundreds of kindergartens, schools and hospitals in Ukraine (some with Iranian weapons). And what?
Yes UN might proclaim that “Killing kids is bad” but that’s it.
Oh, and while I am here: fuck Iran, Iranians and everything Iranian.
It is nice to see the bigotry that was evident in my other interactions with you reveal itself so plainly.
This isn’t about defending Iran, it is about seeing this blatant regional escalation to war under flimsy pretenses for what it is, which I would think you would be against?
Why fuck Iranians? The majority are victims of their regime.
I hope you’re not American or else that would be a big ol’ bowl of hypocrisy.
It’s what’s for dinner.
Americans are increasingly sick, broke and hungry. They’d be happy with a big old bowl of anything right about now. But hey, as long as we keep funding endless bombs and cash “aid” to the state of Israel so they can have free health care and college, I guess this is fine.
Your comment was removed but Iranians are not comparable to Russians, as you said Russians have been more than happy to invade Ukraine, however Iranians have been protesting their government for years and decades:

Well in this case the school was accidentally hit when a missile strike missed its target by a few hundred meters (there is a IRGC barracks over the road from it)
The other was done intentionally by the iranian regime
Not exactly a whataboutism
Yeah “accidentally missed” an INS + GPS + TV + Laser guided 21st century bomb.
Just like how they “accidentally” bombed practically every Hospital in Gaza.
Or the time that the US “accidentally” bombed the Chinese embassy.
Even the Indian Air Force only missed their target by 50m meters back in 2019 with their crappy Israeli guide bombs. 600m is an order of magnitude larger.
Before it was even run as “accidentally missed”, people like you were claiming the IRGC had a missile launcher nearby that failed to launch properly.
Because again, 21st century ballistic missiles just automatically explode upon hitting the ground in the event of a misfire. There’s just no such thing as failsafes and fuses.
If I dropped a WWII VT shell, it would just explode immediately right.
I have no idea tbh and I’m really not sure why they’d bomb a girls school when there’s a convenient IRGC barracks next door
I’m personally not working for the pentagon but I feel like the barracks may be a better target
On the other hand how do you feel about 7000 dead Iranians in the protests that happened last month?
The theory I’ve heard is that the building was formally an IRGC building and that the maps used were outdated because Iran was keeping the updates to themselves.
Not like that matters whatsoever, killing civilians is absolutely wrong, regardless of who is doing it
No comment on the Iranian regime killing thousands of protesters over the years? really?
edit: 3 downvotes, nice to see the Russian bots out in force
Sucky people suck, regardless of where they’re from.
So killing more Iranians… school children… is justice?
The Red Crescent is killing people now?
Schools and Hospitals bombed? Israel aggression confirmed.
US aggression. Israel wouldn’t be able to do any of this is it weren’t for the money, advancements,data, and protection it receives from the US… anything you blame Israel for you must blame the US for as well.
Oh yes… the USA is a cursed hellhole in my books
I think the point was the Trump regime will conveniently blame the worst of it on Israel
Fricking Hamas commanders. /s
But for real, it’s called a Dahiya doctrine.
Seriously, why is Israel the way it is
Because it was a colonialist apartheid project from the start. Colonialists gonna colonialist.

So bleak and so accurate at the same time.
Holy fuck I hate how accurate this is
Damn.
Should happen highly doubt anyone will do anything and that’s not doomerism just recognizing the people in power won’t intervene in something like this unless forced to.
“What’s in it for us?” - the international community
We need to band together against the Untied States now before it picks us off one by one
Makes me wonder if they are intentionally bombing schools and hospitals or bombing cowardly Iranian leaders hiding under schools and hospitals. I often wonder what is worse 🤔
What I would say is that they are trying to simplify the narratives so that things are as simple as Iranians are the kind of people who hide under schools and hospitals so we don’t have to reflect upon anything deeper about colonialism, jingoism and reflected ethnic conflicts being driven into a genocidal overdrive by cynical forces intent on nothing but destruction for profit and distractions for answers.
What matters is that children died who didn’t have to, and that this was a choice by US and Iraeli leaders.
There was easily a timeline where those children didn’t die, and I think it is a better one than this, both for Iranians and for jews and Israelis. I mean I don’t need to qualify it, that timeline is better for all of us, this war is bullshit and the US and Iran started it. That is just the reality of it, as frustrating and heartbreaking as it is.
I return to a central point that no matter what happens in Iran, this attack was undertaken with ZERO internal, domestic accountability and independent of how you feel about Iranian leaders and Iranian politics, supporting this without massive reservations risks normalizing an absolutely evil precedent. Further even if it is revealed at a later point that Democrats were totally onboard with how these strikes went down, that is if anything even more damning of US politics.
We must all say no, and it doesn’t really have to do with how evil or not evil the Iranian leadership was or is, it has to do with how we are all so obviously getting played for fools here. If nothing else, you should feel deeply condescended because you have been by this turn of geopolitical events no matter where you live on earth.
