What a ridiculous comparison. This Iranian regime is responsible for the direct deaths of civilians, on purpose, due to both funding and direct acts of violence around the world. And yes, that includes countless children.

Not to mention its own citizens, Iranian death squads, killing of women, there is literally no comparison between the purposeful, lack of any care or concern for life exhibited by Iran, and a literal accident with a missile.

To highlight that point, the US cares enough to investigate and discover just how such an unfortunate act happened.

I'm not quite getting your point. Are you saying that when Iran kills children, we should get angry and bomb them, and when the US kills children, other countries shouldn't get angry and bomb the US?

There absolutely is a comparison. Both acts are evil. Just because Iran's regime has a history of even more heinous evil acts doesn't absolve the United States and Israel of their own evil acts.

I trust the US as much as Iran or North Korea to investigate themselves and find no fault.

So, since the Iranian regime killed protesters, it's OK for the US regime to obliterate a girl's school? And then lie about it? I'm having trouble following your reasoning.

Tell me again why was this war necessary for the US? What sort of threat did Iran pose? Wasn't their nuclear program "obliterated" when we bombed them last year? Every time someone from the Trump administration talks, it's a different reason.
