TEHRAN, IRAN—As groups of families and others gathered Sunday evening at cafes around Niloofar Square—a middle-class area in eastern Tehran—after breaking their fast for Ramadan, a series of explosions struck the area, leveling several buildings and killing over 20 people, according to witnesses at the scene and later reports from local news sources.
Witnesses who spoke to Drop Site said two explosions hit the area—a smaller strike in the vicinity, followed by a larger one that devastated much of the neighborhood, a tactic known as a “double tap” strike that is used to inflict maximum casualties.
Videos of the immediate aftermath of the attack showed several individuals dead and wounded as well as massive destruction on the street outside. In Cafe Ahla, next to the square, blood and debris soaked the floors. Several patrons who had been sitting there when the attack struck could be seen dead on the floor or with their mutilated bodies still sprawled across their seats.
Known “tactic” previously employed by the Israelis in Palestine, as well as by Assad in Syria, and by many other mindless butchers. They’re not interested in mission objectives or the safety of the world, they just want to watch their enemies burn. And some keyboard warriors in Europe and the US cheer this evil on. What has the world come to?
Not just keyboard warriors, Germany enabled logistics merrily.
Well, Pete did say the US was no longer going to be following those pesky “rules of engagement” anymore. I guess this is what he meant.
And we’re still claiming to be doing this because the Iranian people were stuck living under a murderous and repressive regime? Or has he just dropped the act?
Hegseth already said it was about advancing US interests. But he might have been drunk.
When is he not drunk?
“but khomeini killed 2 million students in 2 weeks!!!”
Trump saw that and thought 'challenge accepted ’
They did actually. A few pretty large ones. But there was zero coverage of them in the news. Wonder why…
Double taps are designed to kill civilians, then kill responders.
Fucking war crime.
I recall Trump was bestowed the FIFA Award of Peace. There was a gold trophy and award ceremony and everything.
Who on Earth could have foreseen such a reversal?
Hegseth will kill anyone anywhere he wants with no consideration for anything but winning whatever the fuck he thinks he winning.
The USA need a drastic change. Preferably enacted by the bottom-most trench of society.
excuse me but if you want me to enact changes i need all kinds of specific assurances that you are not prepared to give
There was a time where I would have attributed such tactics to terrorist groups, but in this time, it could be both, US or Israel.
