> Yes the US probably is still using precision weapons because, well, unlike the Iranian government we don't want to use so-called dumb munitions and indiscriminately bomb civilians or civilian targets.

Are you referring to the "precision" weapons that hit the girls' school?

The us has air dominance but not air supremacy, which is why missiles are mostly used rather than bombs with gps kits, requiring to get much closer.

And the US has been very keen to bomb civilians and civilian infrastructure, along with Israelis, since the start of the war [0]. The US-Israelis are guilty of war crimes.

The recent bombing of an unfinished bridge is another example of the US-Israeli actions, especially since they did a double-tap to kill rescuers. [1]

US did murder 170 girls in Minab school, and hit many civilian targets, including a water desalination plant.

Yes US is using precision weapons, but not because they want to avoid indiscriminate bombing.

It's because US wants to precisely bomb specific civilian targets
