In a social media post on Wednesday, the hacking group that claimed responsibility said the Stryker hack was retaliation for a missile strike on an elementary school in Iran...
Being sickened and angered by the killing of so many schoolgirls, who happen to be Iranian, makes you "Pro-Iran"? Strange world.

They're angry about civilians dying, so they want different civilians to die from lack of medical devices?

While I don't think violence is always the answer, and I definitely don't support Iranian regime, I don't disagree with the statement an eye for an eye.
People and nations should expect that an attack will be met with an attack.
If a bully is hitting someone, one of the most effective ways of stopping it completely is hitting back.

Sounds evil. Like America's foreign policy

Nuance is dead, it is all collectively distilled to a binary choice these days.

It's becoming tiresome to see nuance vanishing even here on HN.

No, you can both be wrong and right.

Or, which is more likely in political discussions online, everyone is wrong.

At least from CNN's story, it seems unclear whether this was an attack by a known pro-Iran group, with an "in retaliation for killing schoolgirls" tagline. Or an attack by some unknown group(s), with such a tagline.
Given how many hacking groups don't like the US, the latter would tell us almost nothing about the attackers' actual identities and objectives.

This definitely seems a little odd. Very convenient time to slap a "and they are pro-Iran" label on it.

Yeah, from the Pentagon's or CNN's PoV.
Though if I was a hacking group with little interest in Iran, hitting a US-based target...I might make some pro-Iran noises, trying to confuse the attribution. Or to curry favor with China, Russia, NK, ...
(And I'm not ruling out a nation-state actor being directly behind this.)

Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years

I want American pedos to be brought to justice but let's not forget, in Iran it's legal to marry children so they are actually even worse on this issue.

Iran allows girls to be married off at 8 years and 9 months with parental approval and 13 years without parental approval. Sex is allowed once married regardless of age.
Maybe they should start dealing with this in their own country before fighting against it in other places.
