Israeli media reports that today USA bombed a school again with an experimental ballistic missle, killing 21 people: https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/iran/2026-03-30/ty-article/.premium/report-u-s-fired-untested-ballistic-missile-at-iranian-school-killing-21/0000019d-3f3b-dc64-a3df-ff7f1c420000 https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/iran/2026-03-30/ty-... US is already very unpopular even among the traditionally very pro-US populations, which means anyone not distancing themselves from US will underperform and in many cases pro-US politicians will be ousted. These posts are getting flagged but its actually vey relevant for US tech as US tech may end up blocked across the world with potentially reducing its userbase by %90 percent as US population quite small actually.

edit: Well, crap. I was wrong. Apologies! I guess we've obliterated two schools now. Ugh.

  Oh its from 2 days ago? Okay then, let's vote in the politicians that will drag us to war crimes and genocides with US and Israel - said no one.

      That's fine I don't accuse you of anything. People are now joking about Iran deploying inflatable schools as decoy so to make US spent their bombs on those.

  No, this is a different strike. Please read the NYT article you linked more carefully. > The Feb. 28 attack occurred the same day as a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile struck a school in the city of Minab, several hundred miles away, killing 175 people. In the case of Lamerd, though, it involved a weapon that had been untested in combat.
