This school bombing is a terrible tragedy.  And I am sure a root cause analysis will conducted at war's end.  There have been examples of this in the past that have been attributed to a bad bounce, a miscalculation, or on bad data. 

But if you adhere to the philosophy of naive @Kamaji, Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have never happened.  World War 2 may have lasted until the late '40's or early '50's.  And no telling how many of our ancestors ...  and Us wouldn't have ever existed without that decision

Americans are pretty decent at learning from mistakes,.  I am sad about the Iranian children lost, but it should not affect our resolve in this conflict. 

And like @Hoodat said...  back to war news....  I am done with commentary on this,

According to the Financial Times, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, and Kuwait have requested to buy thousands of drones from Ukraine’s TAF Industries. According to reports, Qatar submitted a request for 2,000 drones while the UAE submitted a request for 5,000 drones. Additionally, Kuwait also showed an interest in buying interceptor drones.

After the massacre of Iranian protesters, regime forces mocked the dead. Here's one of them asking:

“Where do we store the corpses?
A. Side-by-side refrigerator
B. Ice cream machine
C. Supermarket freezer
D. I'm an ice seller”

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday that more than 80 Israeli Air Force (IAF) fighter jets carried out a series of strikes in Iran. Among the targets was a university that the IDF said used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to train its officers. Other targets hit in the strikes included ballistic missile storage facilities, underground missile command infrastructure and launch sites aimed at Israel that were located in western and central Iran.

"These strikes degrade the Iranian regime’s ability to fire at Israeli civilians," the IDF said.

Israel and the U.S. launched the conflict with Iran one week ago as both countries carried out attacks against Tehran. One of the strikes on Feb. 28 led to the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Former IMF economist: shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has virtually stopped.

Former International Monetary Fund economist Robin J Brooks stated that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively come to a halt, which can be considered a de facto blockade of one of the world’s key energy trade routes.

According to him, under normal circumstances, about 100 ships pass through the strait daily - roughly 50 in each direction. Around two-thirds are tankers carrying oil, petroleum products, and LNG, while the rest are cargo ships transporting coal, iron ore, and grain. However, since the start of hostilities on February 28, traffic has sharply declined to nearly zero and has remained at this level for more than a week.

Brooks notes that even with limited military capabilities, Iran can seriously affect shipping security. In his view, a few drones are enough to disable an oil tanker, making the risk for ships extremely high. Therefore, even with U.S. naval escorts and insurance support, a rapid return to previous shipping volumes is unlikely.

The situation is already affecting the global energy market. Brent crude oil prices have risen about 28% compared to the end of last week. According to Brooks, tensions around the Strait of Hormuz could impact the market even more than the Russia-Ukraine war, as this route plays a far more critical role in global oil supplies.

And this is the pinch point that is the key to Iran's strategy. Not just the Strait, but blocking as much of the supply of oil as they can, because it's low cost leverage.

They tipped their hand trying to sabotage the Turkey-Azerbaijan pipeline.

This doesn't hurt Russia so much, but it does hurt China, India, and other Asian countries, so I'm curious of how it unfolds from here if they can't get oil.

And it was kind of due since it's got a little frothy.

The price of crude though...it can get up to the low $100's and stay there awhile, not to mention shortages in general. That will bring the whole thing down.

And not just us, but the most reliant ones like China. At least we can secure our own oil.

Very true....   Now is the time to ramp up every well, refinery, and distribution outlet to 110%.  And provide a war time discount, re-payable by iran, once they are reassembled.

Yes and with them and their apocalyptic mindset, drawing all these nations in to the conflict, things look to be playing on the bigger and grander stage.

And for those of us who follow, we are keeping sharp eye on Ezekiel 39.

The only way to secure the Straits of Hormuz and to guarantee safe passage of all vessels is going to be by a ground invasion and occupation.

BREAKING:

MLRS systems have opened fire on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad

[Smokin Joe]

Very simple question, for which the answer is "yes" or "no":  If U.S. military planners knew, or should have known, that there was a school within the danger zone of that attack, should they have taken that fact into account, and either (a) justified the chances of killing innocent young children because the timing of the attack was absolutely critical - but for attacking at precisely that time, the war would have been lost, or (b) rescheduled the attack to a time when the children were not likely to be there - schools have pretty well-established schedules, and do not operate 24/7.

Yes, or no.  No equivocation, no "but, but, but" - Yes, or No.

Even you should be able to answer that question.

I'm willing to let the investigation shake out, for the purpose of preventing such tragedies whenever possible.
It's sad for all concerned, but let's not dive into the ROE treacle that has hampered operations from Vietnam onward that some Monday morning quarterback might decide a target should not have been hit, or that someone should have known it shouldn't.
Considering the lack of collateral damage given the number of targets that have been hit and the precision they have been hit with, this is a small number of incidental casualties. No, I don't approve of killing schoolkids, but operations will continue if they are going to succeed.
Apparently, the building appeared to be part of the Military complex and was taken out.

It isn't as if the people who were inside that complex were not aware they were a target, and they did nothing to move their own children to safety--unless these kids were rounded up and put in the facility to produce just this sort of result and cause a ripe propaganda incident to use against our own.

War is fought on may levels, and our history of late (since WWII) is littered with conflicts that ended when the level of support was undermined here first. Vietnam was lost in Washington DC, not Southeast Asia, Korea is still a cease-fire, not an armistice, Iraq is ever in flux, and Biden fled from Afghanistan. Kuwait was a 'win' because we achieved our military goals before the media subverted the support for the war. Let's not feed the Trump hate out there with one erroneous target, and let's find out if the kids were there to shield something that was a high priority target.

It's obvious that Iran has thought this out and planned ahead for the scenario of few assets and maximum disruption after their main forces are obliterated.

And that begs the question of how far ahead they've thought, planned, and executed, especially when it comes to American soil.

[Hoodat]

It's sad for all concerned, but let's not dive into the ROE treacle that has hampered operations from Vietnam onward that some Monday morning quarterback might decide a target should not have been hit, or that someone should have known it shouldn't.

It goes beyond that.  There's an underlying requirement that the US military be omniscient.

If U.S. military planners knew, or should have known

I refuse to accept that premise.
