We have been following this situation overnight, but there are scarce details about what really happened. We know that there were strikes in the city of Dehdasht in Kohgiluyeh County, where the aircraft was downed two days ago. We know that at least four people were killed there, and one was wounded. Later, there were reports that the number of people killed was even higher than that. There were unofficial reports of clashes, but this has not been confirmed to us. So, it was a very intense situation there, and it was very clear that there was an operation going on by the Americans to try to rescue the second pilot. Early on, Iranian authorities were also looking for him, and they even asked civilians in the last couple of days to participate in the search, offering a reward for anyone who could find him. |

Amnesty warns Iran is recruiting children as young as 12 Amnesty International is warning Iran that its recruitment of children as young as 12 for the Revolutionary Guard’s all-volunteer Basij force amounts to a war crime. The Guard has put out the call recently as the Basij finds its checkpoints under attack during the war with the United States and Israel. Amnesty also said that eyewitnesses and its own analysis of video footage “show child soldiers having been deployed” to checkpoints and patrols, some armed with weapons including Kalashnikov-style assaults rifles. I hope when these little demon terrorists are targeted, our noisy neighbours won't be crying genocide. |
