This is real life not cartoon villany. The US administration is not a kind one, but their goals are not just 'death for people in Iran'.

Why else would they start an unprovoked war while pretending to negotiate peace with Iran? They want death of Iranians.

For the same reason they deposed Maduro, control, obviously.

Your mistake is thinking they care about Iranians enough to want them dead. The reality is that they want Iran to bend the knee, at which point they'll go back to not thinking about them at all.

They made it as clear as possible they don't give a shit about collateral damage. You have some very immense reading difficulties.

Aka they don't care about innocent deaths, they want to cause deaths.

And schools, hospitals, aid workers, etc have of course been "khamas" and "irgc" to these two invaders so that's hardly surprising.

"The other thing with the terrorists is you have to take out their families, when you get these terrorists, you have to take out their families. They care about their lives, don’t kid yourself. When they say they don’t care about their lives, you have to take out their families,” Trump said.

https://edition.cnn.com/2015/12/02/politics/donald-trump-ter...

During the past week, in a series of interviews and events, Trump has articulated a loose, but expansive set of principles that, if enacted, would mark a fundamental shift in U.S. foreign policy from the limits put in place by Democratic President Barack Obama and the Republican-led Congress. In addition to arguing in favor of reinstating waterboarding, a technique that mimics the sensation of drowning, and "much more than that," Trump has advocated the killing of suspected terrorists' wives and children, which appears in violation of international law.

I'm not sure how "they want war, so they are bombing negligently" is any different. Or morally better.

It's not, but that's not what the USA wants. They want Iran to stop destabilising the ME, and to eliminate the threat to the USA consisting of the Iranian nuke program, the ballistic missile program, and the religious zeal to use them. What on earth makes you assert the USA just 'wants war'? If this war goes on for too long Trump is cooked. He'll lose the election and might even be unpopular enough to cop the persecu…

> They want Iran to stop destabilising the ME, and to eliminate the threat to the USA consisting of the Iranian nuke program, the ballistic missile program, and the religious zeal to use them.

US and Israeli leaders have said recently that the war will continue until Iran is not a threat, for mostly the exact reasons you just listed. I'm not sure how you bomb the religious zeal out of someone.

I was listening to a fairly right wing British pundit today, who is very publicly funded by British and European NATO interests, he said that the US saying they will continue to bomb Iran until it is not a threat reminded him a lot of one of Russia's state Ukraine war goals of "we will de-Nazify Ukraine".

very open ended nebulous goals with the benefit of being easily stretched around any agenda the invading party has at the moment.

Yes, well... the Russians seem especially unconcerned with checking targets for validity before mashing the fire button. The logic they're presenting is largely the same as Israel's excuse for bombing hospitals in Gaza. When there's a war in a civilian area, injured soldiers from the front line will be mostly treated at the nearest available hospital, which then overflows into regional hospitals further back, etc...…

That's a lot of contortions to go through to avoid the clear Occam's Razor conclusion that these people are simply evil scumbags doing evil scumbag things. Bombing hospitals because they thought they contained wounded troops isn't a defense, that's a whole war crime of its own! They have an extremely long track record of committing atrocities. You don't need to go out of your way to give them the benefit of the doubt…

I remember the time when Israel shot a missile under a hospital in Gaza and immediately after the head of Hamas, brother of Yehia Sinwar was confirmed dead. Maybe our intelligence isn't that bad after all.

Meanwhile doctors without borders denied seeing any militant activity in hospital, despite e.g one of their doctors turning out to be an Islamic Jihad rocket troops commander, or half the electricty of an hospital being diverted to a bunker right beneath it, or people firing from hospital windows at Al-Shabab anti-hamas militia.

And now they are unwilling to give a list of names of their members to be vetted for operating in the strip.
