This is not an "AI error". This is a human decision to use known unreliable AI for waging war, in full knowledge that civilian death is an inevitable consequence. If you decide your strike locations using a pair of dice, it's not a "dice error" when you blow up a school. |

1) the school was within the security perimeter of an IRGC base
2) it was in a building that was an IRGC control center 3 years ago
3) the road to the school is a road internal to that base
4) the students are from a minority and were forced to go to that school
5) that base was involved in hostilities when it was hit
Let's face facts here: the IRGC explicitly created this situation to try to get exactly this mistake, forced those children into the line of fire.
Btw: that is a war crime. Creating this confusion in the first place is a war crime. On one hand I like that there is a large amount of navel-gazing over this mistake ... but now is not the time.
AND somehow one side in this conflict just gets to give it's orders command to use shoot-to-kill tactics on children without any peep from anyone: https://www.euronews.com/2026/03/06/iran-security-forces-iss...
And that leads us to point 6.
6) the attention this attack is generating is being immediately exploited by the islamic guards to commit more warcrimes against Iranians, to kill children, put more civilians in danger, and even kill patients in hospitals. That, of course, does not seem to justify anyone's attention:

7) and the fact that this generates asymmetric attention is being exploited in hostilities by the IRGC as well. They aren't just committing warcrimes in Iran:

https://x.com/IsraelinUK/status/2030227972582416493
In other words: the attention this is generating is directly leading to the killing of Iranian and Israeli civilians. AND THAT IS THE INTENTION BEHIND THIS REPORTING.
This report is a weapon used to commit more warcrimes. Not a reasonable attempt to hold people responsible. It must stop.
And, frankly, do you people even know who you're dealing with when it comes to Iran? Google "plastic keys to heaven", for an explanation how Islam means you can use 6-year-old minority children as cheap demining equipment? That other people's children can be kidnapped and used to figure out where the enemy deployed chemical weapons? (Iraq btw, that's how mullahs fought their first war). Use kidnapped children where snipers are located? Another fantastic islamic mullah invention! Seriously, LOOK IT UP.
The 2 sides just don't compare here. So by all means, investigate the mistake that lead to this attack and try to prevent it. Slowly. Thoroughly. When the situation stabilized. Which means in a month or two. First, give people a chance to end it.
And yes, this might end in disaster. The situation before this conflict started was a disaster already, just not for you personally.
