Trita Parsi(@tparsi):For years, Israel was using 2,000lb American bombs to kill Gazan refugees in tents. Both the Biden and Trump administrations permitted it. A precedent was set. Now it appears the US is doing the same in Iran. A 2000lb bomb was dropped on a family house in Qeshm, killing a taxi driver (the father), the mother, and a 2-year-old, according to @nytimes. Yes, a taxi driver. And a toddler. And his mother. "The Times found no indication of a military site near the family’s home or any reports of military casualties from the strike."
