As a fragile cease-fire takes hold, Iran is sorting through the wreckage from U.S.-Israeli strikes, which have exacted a heavy toll on its civilian infrastructure. The New York Times has verified damage to 22 schools and 17 health care facilities, a fraction of the devastation in the war so far.

The scale of devastation is likely far greater than The Times’s analysis. The Iranian Red Crescent Society, the country’s primary humanitarian relief organization, said on April 2 that at least 763 schools and 316 health care facilities had been damaged or destroyed in the war.

Ah the classic "butcher civilians then wonder why you're not winning" strategy. Flawless.

At this point, you have to believe that the Palantir targeting software, the choice of fascists worldwide, specifically includes schools and hospitals in their data set. One does not "accidentally" hit over 1,000 targets.
