PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayNobody should be surprised that Iran has adopted the Hamas strategy of conducting warfare out of hospitals and schools, and I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that Pravda is covering it up.
Yet I continue to be a bit shocked at the latter, because I still can't quite wrap my head around the idea that an institution that is key to upholding Western constitutional values would betray us in favor of the worst people on Earth.
Silly me. There really is no level of depravity to which many of these people will not stoop.
Holy sh*t
Members of the basij and IRGC armed forces are hiding in SCHOOLS to shield themselves from strikes.
Where are the leftists and mainstream media? Why wont they talk about the regime in Iran turning schools into military zones? pic.twitter.com/rlnUl7sP79
Using schools and hospitals for military purposes makes them legitimate military targets under international law, and of course, our Pravda Media is quite big on making ridiculous interpretations of international law when it suits their purposes.
During the Israel/Hamas war, we were often treated to bogus claims about Israel targeting hospitals, and much of the "genocide" narrative depended on ignoring the fact that Hamas was using human shields and operating out of hospitals. Now that the war is over, we are learning that doctors whom the media portrayed as interested only in saving lives were high-level Hamas operatives, and no doubt the media was quite well aware of that fact.
Here’s a picture of Iranian spokesman Esmail Baghaei giving a press conference inside a school earlier today.
Look at the microphones, you’ll see AFP and AP at the bottom right.
Will they report that the Iranian regime is using schools to shield itself from airstrikes? pic.twitter.com/nwv3SAIBvm
But Pravda had a fig leaf in that case: there was no photographic evidence that they were participants in the fraud and propaganda machine. We had circumstantial evidence that they did—after all, there was lots of OSINT out there making it clear, and the Israelis provided the intelligence to prove it. But we couldn't see with our own eyes the media conspiring with Hamas to provide a false narrative.

But in this war, we can. Media figures are so anxious to give a microphone to Iranian propagandists that they will sit in schools along with the leaders and act as stenographers for the Iranian leadership.
We can see that they are in a school. We can see their microphones on the podium. We can directly correlate the reports to the briefings they sat through in schools and hospitals.

And, no doubt, if any of these hospitals suffer damage, the same media will report the event as Israel or the United States striking civilian infrastructure.
Schools and hospitals turned into military shields. This is what the Islamic Republic does and some of you still defend it.
Where do you think Hamas learned the human shield playbook?
And no, I wouldn’t put it past them to blow something up, kill civilians, and blame the U.S.… pic.twitter.com/LV2Yuh1efy
The media still reports the Iranian propaganda that Israel or the United States struck an elementary school, killing over 100 girls, as if it is a proven fact that we hit it. Yet that same media participates in press conferences from schools without reporting this most salient fact of a war crime.
Iran’s state broadcaster claimed a U.S. strike targeted a school in Minab. Within hours, major outlets were repeating the allegation.
Much of the early coverage relied on regime media, with limited independent verification.
Here’s how that claim spread so quickly.…
It's impossible to overstate the betrayal of trust being displayed here. The media isn't just aware of this; they are participating and covering it up.
No doubt they would argue that failure to do so would rob Westerners of information they should have: the perspective of the Iranians. If they reported that the briefings took place in a school, they would never be able to interview the Iranian leadership.
Yeah, well, they are robbing Western audiences of a more important fact than whatever propaganda Iran is putting out.
This is the Israel/Gaza war again: Pravda is hiding the truth.
