As I said earlier, throughout the years, during heightened news events, there have occasionally been random people posting incorrect pictures or old pictures, or mislabeled pictures from unrelated events.
(And nowadays faked A.I. images are added to all of that).
so it's important to verify with several sources to see if it's real.

Here's the latest example:

So, IOW, we (and Israel) have accomplished nothing in Iran (not even securing our oil resources over there - which, I suspect, has been this administration's motivation all along). In fact, we've made a very bad situation even worse, jeopardizing hundreds of thousands of lives, and potentially plunging us all into another war (that will drag on for years and resolve nothing).

Good to know.
