The chain of custody for this reporting is so rank it stinks to heaven. It seems to go IRG to TASS. The Iranian government is anything but leftist. It is not your friend.
So the Iranian Regime claims the children shot during the riots were shot by Israelis?
GTFO with these fake ass fake news.
Tbf here too, IMI surplus ammo is extremely common.
Israeli military-grade ammunition embedded
Lol, lmao even, as opposed to civilian-grade ammunition.
Might as well describe Lemmy as a ring of gurlerilla servers using military grade encryption run on servers with links to Israel (e.g there’s at least 1 kernel developer in Israel).
Let’s pause for a while and think about who controls the dissection of bodies, and who can tell coroners to sign statements in Iran.
Yeah, the Iranian government which just supressed the protests. And desperately needs a scapegoat.
True for sure. Also the source is TASS. On the other hand it’s also true that Israel has interest in toppling the Iranian regime. It’s a well established fact that Israel 's Mossad operates within Iran and funnelling weapons furthers that interest. I don’t doubt Israel has done whatever they could to help the protest topple the regime, and I also don’t doubt the Iranian regime did what they could to pin this on Israel and other foreign actors to deflect responsibility.
Israel even publicly admitted they have plenty of Mossad agents in the protest
Because Israel is always honest.
I know this has nothing to do with it, just trying to gauge your honesty. What is the Hannibal Directive?
Israel sold weapons to Iran when Iran wasn’t their enemy and Iraq was the main danger. They would have no advantage at all in squashing the uprising there. This whole article is misdirection and misleading, playing into the hands of Iran’s despots.
Where is it said Israel is stopping the uprising in Iran
The first casualty of war is the truth. We’ll likely never know it.
I’ve never heard of thecradle.co, but now I know not to trust their news reporting.
Israeli arms sales break record for 4th year in row, reaching $14.8 billion in 2024.
Billing one half of Iran to kill the other half.
how does one look at a fired round, presumably beat to shit from impact, and trace it back to a origin? unless this is people assuming the entire round fires and have no understanding?
It was a kosher bullet obviously.

And it doesn’t answer the question. Examination of the bullet can tell you something about what kind of gun barrel it was fired from. It cannot tell you that the ammunition itself is “Israeli military grade” unless Israel is doing something unusual with the composition of their bullets. As that page says (under the Criticisms section), comparative bullet lead analysis is not necessarily a reliable indicator of where the bullet was manufactured.
I sort of think that staring at bullet striations is basically tea leaf reading, but even if you think it’s perfectly reliable, without a suspect weapon to compare to it can only tell you what kinds of gun barrels could have fired the shot.
Comparing metal composition to known samples has been around since the 18th century
Well, this is what the linked article says about it:
Prior to September 2005, comparative bullet-lead analysis was performed on bullets found at a scene that were too destroyed for striation comparison. The technique would attempt to determine the unique elemental breakdown of the bullet and compare it to seized bullets possessed by a suspect.[47] Review of the method found that the breakdown of elements found in bullets could be significantly different enough to potentially allow for two bullets from separate sources to be correlated to each other. However, there are not enough differences to definitely match a bullet from a crime scene to one taken from a suspect’s possession.[48] An additional report in 2004 from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) found that the testimony given regarding comparative bullet-lead analysis was overstated and potentially “misleading under the federal rules of evidence”.[47] In 2005, the Federal Bureau of Investigation indicated that they would no longer be performing comparative bullet-lead analysis.[49]
Are you AI?
Because it took you 5s to find an incorrect answer and confidently link to a Wikipedia article, that doesn’t answer the question.
nice.
