Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

why was the school inside the military compound

It wasn't.

why did the US take the risk of striking it

Due to appalling incompetence which made them think it was part of the military compound. This should be investigated as a war crime, it's an unacceptable mistake.

This is extremely tragic, and very worrying that the US cannot seem to admit to its mistake officially. It's also obvious that the Islamic regime is taking this excellent chance to use in their propaganda against the US and Israel, because why shouldn't they? It also undermines trust and hope that some Iranians have in that this may lead to a regime change.

That said, there is one thing true in what you stated, and that is that there may be some manipulation of the true death toll and other reporting of it, because the only source of it is the Islamic regime and they have an interest in making it appear as barbaric as possible. And as you said, neither side can be trusted, you can expect propaganda from both sides.

The school is the building in the top right, inside the walls of the military compound.

Of all the things you don't want anywhere near a military base. Its criminally reckless of both sides.

As stated in the article you linked where you also got this image, this is a satellite photo from 2013, when the building was a part of the military compound. But by 2016, it had been walled off from it and had gotten separate entrances.
