But they are claiming that the IRGC is admitting to it, which is wild.
But I guess I have been hearing that a lot lately.
I think they've adapted this propaganda in the January protests till now to:
"Actually they did it themselves and they (or a dissenter) admitted to it."
Bots on twitter are claiming that a telegram channel named Gilan Radio is claiming that the IRGC have admitted to accidentally bombing the elementary school that killed those girls.
One bot said something to the effect of: "Trust me, I am an Iranian medical doctor, and spoke to people there, and from what I see this is clearly a short range missile." sure bud, it's your medical opinion that this was a short-range ground launched ballistic missile as opposed to a medium-range air-launched ballistic missile.
This is a shift from other narratives already used like: "there was an IRGC facility next to it, and Iranians were using it as a meatshield. So they were collateral to the Israeli's strike. Blame Iran."
However it would be quite bold and desperate to lie about what another organization is saying. I'm wondering if we can get any sort of actual confirmation.
The strike was in the south of Iran, so if true - the missile might've been destined for Bahrain.
The gait and posture of the people at the beginning looked so AI-generated, but near the end there are also features that make it look too good to be AI generated.
Maybe their goal is to use all their interceptors to ensure they stop as much as possible and negotiate an end to the war since their regime change operation has failed.
If Iran accepts, they change the dialectic from external to internal conflict, with degraded material conditions due to the war, and they consequently they cede their advantage for industrial scale and attrition with American technological superiority and short-term strength.
Iran will fail as a nation if they accept an end to the war.
