re: Is the U.S. carpet bombing densely populated neighborhoods in Tehran?

I doubt it is true. There is likely more to the story. However, would you put it past the ragheads to do like Hamas in Gaza and seek refuge within the depths of the community? As the saying goes 'all is fair in love and war'. Iranian extremists have been a pain in the arse of humanity for far too long. I realize that all Iranians are not warfighters and extremists. However, I would support it versus American 'boots on the ground'.

Carpet bombing IRGC bases. I am sure some of their families will die with them, but that is the fate they chose. They can at least send their family to stay with grandma.

Important nuances:Not all heavy or wide-area bombing is automatically illegal. If the target is a large, unified military objective (e.g., a massive concentration of enemy troops in an open area with no or very few civilians), saturation bombing could be lawful, provided it satisfies proportionality (expected civilian harm not excessive compared to military advantage) and precautions in attack rules.
Indiscriminate attacks — those that do not discriminate between military objectives and civilians, or that employ means/methods inherently incapable of distinction — are prohibited under customary international law (binding on everyone, including non-parties to Protocol I like the United States).
Proportionality and precautions rules still apply even when targeting legitimate military objectives: expected civilian deaths/injuries/damage must not be excessive relative to the concrete military gain, and feasible steps must be taken to minimize civilian harm.
World War II-era city bombings (Dresden, Tokyo, etc.) would almost certainly be unlawful today under these standards, though they occurred before the modern rules were codified.
In short:Carpet bombing civilian-populated areas (treating the whole area as one target) ? illegal (indiscriminate attack, often a war crime).
Heavy bombing of purely military concentrations (with proper proportionality/precautions) ? can be legal.
So sayeth Grok.

I'm pretty sure the patents in that AI generated image know that their children were killed by the IRGC not the countries saving them.

But...but...that can't be true. Can it?? MUST be muh-"propaganda" and disinfo because ALL Iranian witnesses are liars.
The War Boot-Klickers only know one thing: The US-Isr Military are "benevolent liberators!"

Claiming we are indiscriminately carpet bombing civilians is not the same as a school getting hit that’s on a military base which is launching missiles.
Regardless of who’s missile.

I’m not the OP. I never made the claim we are carpet bombing. Stating that as of yesterday over 1200 Iran civilians have been killed by our bombs is not stating we are carpet bombing.

Amount of fricks given…
Zero.
Civilians killed in one day of firebombing Tokyo - ~~100,000
Amount of fricks given for them?
Zero.

I think you missed my point, ill explain it like you're 5.
IRGC is murdering 10s of thousands of people for protesting
US says stop that or you're gonna get a whooping
IRGC doesn't stop
US kills dictator that's murdering them
Rocket hits school fired by either US or IRGC in the process
Iranian people are not morons like Americans and realize regardless of who fired the rocket, it's all the fault of the IRGC
Does it make sense now? Also the parents in this scenario were AI in case that went over your head.

This reads like one of those low iq Ephesian Armor posts.

this is different. like i said the guy claimed the U.S. was targeting civilians, doing “double taps” to inflict more casualties, carpet bombing neighborhoods.
Dresden happened, but our goal then was to eliminate ammunition factories, arms production, etc.
we weren’t targeting civilians, although there were many such casualties.
it’s not the same.
anyway, it doesn’t seem like the story is accurate. i’m surprised. i though Kiriakou was a reliable source.
