The Iranian government has repeatedly used inherently indiscriminate cluster munitions delivered by ballistic missiles in attacks on Israel since February 28, 2026, Human Rights Watch said today. At least four civilians have been killed in the strikes, which violate the laws of war and may amount to war crimes.
I think your information might be out of date regarding what the US used on that girls school.
see, this is where the school of tiktok and CoD starts falling short of actual military knowledge. HE Fragmentation blasts (ie shrapnel shells, the “metal pellets” as explained in your link) are quite different than cluster munitions.
Fragmentation uses the primary explosion of the payload to propel metal fragments which are what deal the actual damage, as compared to a pure explosive in which the heat and explosive force are the main actors. Shrapnel shells just make the primary payload more effective (lethal), they have no effect on the accuracy or targeting of the delivery mechanism. If you have seen pictures of the PrSM impact which hit the school, it’s easy to see that the blast radius was tightly contained onto roughly the top 1/2 of the building.
Cluster munitions, on the other hand, are BY DESIGN meant to scatter across a large area, with each bomblet delivering its own individual explosive payload (which BTW may also be augmented with shrapnel). Each one of Iran’s missiles scatters tens of separate bomblets over a 5-10km radius, indiscriminately targeting whole city areas with 100Ks of civilians.
If you can’t tell the difference I can only conclude that you don’t WANT to see a difference between a single tragic targeting mistake vs ongoing intentional war crimes against broad swaths of civilian populations.
