One of Israel's earliest airstrikes was a prison Iran used to hold dissidents https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8621gnknjo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp8621gnknjo Calling in a massive airstrike on a prison where the opposition is being held isn't exactly the way to support the opposition.

    Oh, I’ve read it. Including this gem: "When you are in prison, it becomes your home. When I heard this morning that Evin prison was bombed, I felt a sharp pain in my heart. When I was released, I left a piece of my heart there." Racism really makes people dumb.

When I was released, I left a piece of my heart there." Racism really makes people dumb. For those playing along at home, this is a quote from someone who was thankfully released prior to the bombing (in 2022), who is worried for the people still in there. I'm sure you missed this sentence which was hidden literally right above it? > Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian woman who was imprisoned for years at Evin, told the BBC she felt "sick" with concern following the strike.

    You seem to be implying that the Israeli strike targeted or harmed dissident prisoners, rather than regime targets. The article doesn't say that. It says there was some "panic" about a damaged ceiling, "although they did not report any injuries". It also mentions some hearsay about "injuries to several men", with no further details like who said that or who the men were. It seems pretty clear that Israel struck regime targets, and at worst there was relatively minor collateral damage (still unclear), which is a risk with just about any strike.

They explicitly said that they were trying to free people held there. Oh, AND they succeeded at that.
