TEHRAN, IRAN—As groups of families and others gathered Sunday evening at cafes around Niloofar Square—a middle-class area in eastern Tehran—after breaking their fast for Ramadan, a series of explosions struck the area, leveling several buildings and killing over 20 people, according to witnesses at the scene and later reports from local news sources.
Witnesses who spoke to Drop Site said two explosions hit the area—a smaller strike in the vicinity, followed by a larger one that devastated much of the neighborhood, a tactic known as a “double tap” strike that is used to inflict maximum casualties.
Videos of the immediate aftermath of the attack showed several individuals dead and wounded as well as massive destruction on the street outside. In Cafe Ahla, next to the square, blood and debris soaked the floors. Several patrons who had been sitting there when the attack struck could be seen dead on the floor or with their mutilated bodies still sprawled across their seats.
I recall Trump was bestowed the FIFA Award of Peace. There was a gold trophy and award ceremony and everything.
Who on Earth could have foreseen such a reversal?
Hegseth will kill anyone anywhere he wants with no consideration for anything but winning whatever the fuck he thinks he winning.
His place in history. The butcher of Theran
That’s fucked up. Just targeting civilians like any other mad dictator. No pretense of going after military targets.
I guess this is what hegseth meant by “no stupid rules of engagement.” Just unmitigated war crimes, in plain view…
The USA need a drastic change. Preferably enacted by the bottom-most trench of society.
Double taps are designed to kill civilians, then kill responders.
Fucking war crime.
Oh, good. The US and Israel are deliberately targeting civilians during a holy period. This won’t come back to bite the US at all.
And we’re still claiming to be doing this because the Iranian people were stuck living under a murderous and repressive regime? Or has he just dropped the act?
Hegseth already said it was about advancing US interests. But he might have been drunk.
When is he not drunk?
Well, strictly speaking the dead are now free from the Iranian Regime.
I mean, if you look at the list of all the nations Trump started wars with or authorized attacks in, he’s clearly big on bringing Peace … Of The Grave.
But the plan is to install their bitch Pahlavi back as Shah, resetting the cycle back to the 1970s. Good time to be in the gold toilets and toilet accessories business.
He was afraid the guard would kill steal him
“but khomeini killed 2 million students in 2 weeks!!!”
Trump saw that and thought 'challenge accepted ’
Known “tactic” previously employed by the Israelis in Palestine, as well as by Assad in Syria, and by many other mindless butchers. They’re not interested in mission objectives or the safety of the world, they just want to watch their enemies burn. And some keyboard warriors in Europe and the US cheer this evil on. What has the world come to?
yeah the russians really love this shit on ukraine first responders.
it’s the calling card of a coward leading a coward society.
Not just keyboard warriors, Germany enabled logistics merrily.
Well, Germany is pretty big on Genocide against “lesser” races, and you don’t need to read much of their Press to figure out Muslims are a “lesser” race in their eyes.
Well, Pete did say the US was no longer going to be following those pesky “rules of engagement” anymore. I guess this is what he meant.
You mean Pete "the famously anti-Muslim Christo fascist who sees himself as a modern day crusader and proud infidel " hegseth? He’s gotta get a better nickname
It’s even more pathetic because Persia was never christian, so what kind of crusade is this even supposed to be?
Nope, Americans have been doing double tapping for a while. Unironically thanks Obama.
And Israel too.
They did actually. A few pretty large ones. But there was zero coverage of them in the news. Wonder why…
I’m an idiot that doesn’t understand facial expressions. What is this meant to convey? Or is it meant to be a commentary on many Americans being too large and sick to worry about what the government is doing to people?
Aren’t these the people the shag wanted to fight for him against the IRGC?
I would play a game of
shag / fight / IRGC
- Shag → Iran
- Fight → Israel
- IRGC → America
