"This is carpet-bombing, which has struck everything from playgrounds, to an emergency services HQ, schools, media buildings, and medical facilities," said one observer.
All friends and family we have contact with within Iran are not afraid of any strikes and describe the attacks as highly targeted. There is no “carpet bombing”.
The article cites NIAC, a propaganda piece of the IRGC, as a source, of which Trita Parsi is the head. All first-hand sources are directly controlled by the Islamic regime. The article even cites Hezbollah (!!!). I think this is very telling regarding overall credibility. Of course they have an interest in showing as high numbers of dead innocent civilians as possible.
Let’s say the number 500 over 4 days is correct. Of course this is tragic, but compare that to the 40 000 slaughtered by the Islamic regime on Jan 8-9. Iranians against the regime, which are the vast majority, see the US-Israeli attacks not as a start of the war but as a continuation of a war against the regime that has already started. The Iranians were screaming for foreign intervention, not because they necessarily like it, especially by the US and Israel, but because they see it as a necessity to get rid of the regime. Iranian civilians have tried and failed to get rid of the regime, because they lack weapons.
Iranians in general are pleased with the strikes on the leaders of the regime, there have especially been much celebration of the ayatollah being killed, but there is also a worry regarding what the war may bring, especially as they know that the US and Israel don’t have the best interest of the Iranian people in mind.
I’m not denying people are being killed. I’m saying there is some collateral damage but it’s probably a lot less than reported. In all conflicts there will unfortunately be some innocent people that die, this is impossible to avoid.
And yes, Iranians approve and even celebrate the attacks against the regime, of which they see themselves as hostages of. There are plenty of videos showing this. You should try talking to some actual Iranians.
Here’s a video of people calmly watching fires from burning buildings hit by missiles. They trust that they are not in danger, the strikes are precise.
You’re deliberately misrepresenting what I’m saying.
Regarding the school attack, it is not clear who were the perpetrators and all information is from regime media. UNESCO has initiated an investigation into it and we will see what the conclusion is.
This is pure propaganda. Let me explain.

So you are saying the bombing isn’t actually killing anyone and the Iranians actually approve of their cities being bombed.
How stupid do you think people are?
Genuine question.

Can you provide these videos?
Most prominently, here’s videos from within Iran, celebrating the death of Khamenei:

Evidence is not a bunch of instagram posts and an article by a known Saudi propaganda outlet.
Imaginary Iranians: “I am so glad little girls are blown to pieces in the name of the american’s discourse about democracy.”
You’re deliberately misrepresenting what I’m saying.
Regarding the school attack, it is not clear who were the perpetrators and all information is from regime media. UNESCO has initiated an investigation into it and we will see what the conclusion is.
I find it completely unbelieveble that the Iranian government was able to exceed the peak daily death toll in the Holocaust
Well, then I invite you to read some on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025–2026_Iranian_protests
