🇺🇸🇮🇷 America's only answer on the Minab school strike is that it quit the UN body that investigated... The State Department says it gives the findings no credibility, citing anti-American rhetoric, antisemitism and the appeasement of repressive regimes. Officials said protecting civilians is of the utmost importance, then handed every specific question about the strike to the Department of War, which has gone quiet.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran arrives at the UN planning to put Minab's dead schoolgirls in front of the world Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister: "It is natural that this tribune will be a place where the people of Iran and the martyrs of the children of the Minab School... will be able to express themselves."

A Pentagon analyst long ago noticed that an Iranian girls' school in Minab had been separated from the military base next door. He entered that into Pentagon files, but it was never linked to the data used for targeting. Why not? 100+ girls were killed.

I love the push towards private AI, but a seperate source of freedom will be truly public AI, i.e. a world where the majority of AI trajectories are searchable, and thus minable for us to improve, understand and monitor intelligence -- not just the central labs.

Pentagon investigators have discovered that flawed intelligence, outdated imagery and an overreliance on AI contributed to a missile strike that killed 123 children in Minab, Iran
