I doubt that Trump is targeting anything beyond "Iran", he can't lead a military operation in any capacity.
He couldn't manage a McDonald's.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The only thing he runs is his mouth.
And his pants
Yeah, the idea he's ordering specific strikes doesn't ring true to me.
I'm willing to bet that Palantir is what's telling them where to strike.
He's not in charge, either.
The only reason he even remembers McDonalds is because it has so much his name.
because the Pentagon was using an out-of-date map?
That would be unsurprising. I recall during the W admin, maybe Obama I just remember where I lived, they did a drone strike on a "militant group" that they did a typo on the name but blew up and killed the wrong group including their families and children and a wedding, and oh yeah they were totally militants after the fact but no one had heard of them before.
It's just Standard Operating Procedure for the US Military I guess is my point.
I’m betting they asked Claude or Grok or whatever Palantir’s FORINT/Secret Police model is and didn’t bother doing any additional auditing whatsoever because “AI is amazing” 😬
They are starting to do this where I work. It is going to be an absolute disaster.
It is 95% fiable do not worry. Another guy will catch the 5%
He raped children.
Now he's killing them.
I think they ordered a strike on a girls school because they thought it would be funny to show how non-woke they are. Remember: these guys are as evil as they are stupid.
Yeah, hanlon's razor does not apply when dealing with actively malicious people and, uh, the last ten years...
Israel pointed and America pulled the trigger.
With satellight imagery these days im casting doubt on this theory
The fuckers know every time I fart, I imagine they knew exactly where they were aiming
Western media and trying to justify western war crimes. Name a more iconic duo. You can't.
america and shooting school kids. I did.
Aren't those the same duo though? I'm pretty sure America justifying killing children and American justifying killing children are the same picture.
Explaining is not the same as justifying.
Well, last time i heard of an american war crime, the yankees took like 2 months to admit that those terrorists loading weapons into a truck were actually humanitarian help sorrounded with children, loading water into a truck... if this is the real reason, i call it progress
Well done americans!
The Trump Administration and incompetence. Name a more iconic duo.
with Krasnov, never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.
He did exactly what was intended.
Oh 🐂 💩. He did it because the Zionists do it and their people applaud them, and because the USA is extremely comfortable with genocide, since founding. Ask the few remaining unmixed indigenous here, if they can be found.
If that’s “terrifying” what is it called if they intentionally targeted the school?
This sort of thing happens every time we bomb the middle east, because we simply don't give a fuck about civilians without moneyed interest. This is a feature of middle east wars because their lives are valued less. The white supremacists must be thrilled though, none of those girls will ever make non-white babies to replace them.
They're all evil from trump on down to the peon or pilot who pulled the trigger.
I think that that would be the best case scenario
Trump and his cabinet are so inept he is asking reporters/columnists what he should do with Iran. All because he believes Bibi's 30yrs of lies regarding Iran being "close" to having nuclear weapons.
It was close enough to a military base that one might extrapolate that it was a deliberate act of state terror on Iranian military families.
Ok Zionist. For the record, Mossad HQ sits under a posh apartment complex.
probably had some evidence sitting around.
I’d wait to point blame over this, we have no idea what happened. The Iranians were murdering thousands of their own civilians just a few weeks ago, they’re hardly a reliable source of information. They’re obviously going to inflate the numbers and craft a story to whatever helps the regime.
Old maps? More like future maps. And killing civilians, mainly children, has always been used by the USI. To me it seems to say that they can do it, and no one will stop them, or stand in their way, because they'll do the same to those who oppose. Kind of like don't fuck with us because we have no boundaries when it comes to death and destruction, and we are above the law mothafuckas. We rape and eat babies, we are the monsters!
