Human Shield, Human Chain & "TARGET?" —Serbia 1999, Iran 2026 - Same Script, Same War Crimes & Criminals

Serbia, 1999: ordinary citizens standing on bridges holding hand-drawn signs with a bullseye and word "TARGET?", children and their parents making peace signs, rock concerts on bridges over Danube...
Thousands forming human chains around power plants, daring NATO aircraft to do what NATO aircraft were, in fact, doing: destroying civilian infrastructure and calling the dead "collateral damage."

The western press had a ready-made headline for all of it:
"Milošević is using his own people as human shields."

Now look at today's Western presstitute coverage. April 7, 2026, day 39 of Operation Epic Epstein Fury.
Israel has acknowledged attacking Iranian railway lines and bridges, the U.S. has struck the oil export hub of Kharg Island, and at least 18 civilians were killed in a single province in Tuesday's strikes alone. CBS News
The IDF, whose strikes hit bridges in Kashan, Qom, Tabriz and Karaj, warned Iranians in Farsi on X to "Refrain from using and traveling by train throughout Iran" — acknowledging that it was about to bomb trains — while most Iranians couldn't see the warning because the internet has been shut off. NBC News
And when Iranians gathered around power plants to protect them? Western outlets reached for the same script, untouched since 1999: "Iran's regime calls on youth to form human shields." Mirror NY Post
The playbook has not been updated, not even a bit.
Here is the factual record:
According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, 65 schools and 32 medical facilities have been targeted since the war started, and more than 10,000 civilian sites have been damaged. Wikipedia
Iran's Ministry of Health reports 220 children killed, 41 ambulances damaged, and 25 health facilities struck. CNN
Sharif University of Technology — Iran's MIT — hit yesterday - as the 30-odd something Iranian University.
A double tap strike hit an elementary school in Minab early in the war, killing 168 children and 14 teachers. In total, over 600 schools were damaged so far. Swissinfo
And Trump's own words on the bridges he is destroying:
"The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow!" NPR
Today he escalated:
"A whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again." euronews
Sociopathic NATO spokesman Jamie Shea, May 1999, at least had the institutional discipline to call it "civilian inconvenience." The current administration is not bothering with the euphemisms.

The people standing on Belgrade bridges in 1999 understood something the western press still cannot process:
If you are prepared to bomb infrastructure with civilians present — having first issued a warning you know most people cannot receive — then calling those civilians "human shields" is not a legal or moral argument. It is the press release you file afterwards to avoid using the words "war crime."

Experts said targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Obviously.
The civilians standing between the bombs and the powerplants and the bridges that their lives depend upon, are not shields. They have correctly identified who the aggressor is – which, if you pay close attention to the articles used as "sources" in this text, and thousands of other across the MSM - Western media cannot. And to top it all off - Iranians, unlike Serbs 27 years ago - aren't risking their youth, their children - look at today's photos and videos.

Who are the actual war criminals? It's not just our psychopaths in charge, and our media - We, the "collective West", are. All of us.
