Its actually not dishonest cause US has the most advanced tech in the world so they have the capability to not miss. They have accurate tech and hit what they wanted to hit. And you are ignoring two things.

1) They have hit other schools and hospitals too. 

2) It was a double tap on the same location.  If it was a mistake,  how did it happen so accurately twice? You telling me US didn't course correct after the first hit.

And thats besides the fact of US-Israel hitting pil sites which caused the black clouds in tehran and will cause acid rains in iran, Afghanistan, pakistan, tajikistan and western china 

It's still a mistake if the mistake happens in determining the target - they hit where they intended to but not what they intended to. Regarding the double tap, based on what I could find quickly, it sounds like it was struck again so soon that the US didn't necessarily have enough information to realize it wasn't a military target after all. Please do correct me if I'm wrong though, because it was a fairly quick check.

Regarding other schools and hospital, I'd have to know more about them. I'm inclined to think the US is averse to strike them unless they think they have 'valid' targets as well. As far as I know (and I could be wrong), striking them (or at least hospitals) is illegal anyway, so it's not any better regardless of whether there are so-called valid targets in them, but at least it's still probably not bombing them to terrorize the populace. It's still very bad but not as bad as it could be.

I just don't think the US has a motive to terrorize the general populace. The US wants a regime change, and they've shown signs of wanting the people of Iran to overthrow the regime. I'm sure the US is being reckless in their strikes as always, which I really dislike, but I have no reason to believe they're striking civilian targets just because. And to be clear, I don't support the attacks against Iran, I think they're just plain wrong and should never have happened.

What about hitting the oil depot and desalination plant in Iran? Causing massive health issues for the general population as well as starving them from water. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v2/rule54

Plus a mistake is still a crime under IHL. Intentional or not, failure to distinguish, proportionality, non combatents
https://casebook.icrc.org/law/principle-distinction

It was a pre-emptive strike, by definition there were no combatants yet, The entire strike was illegal.

Other schools and hospitals are mostly hit from nearby explosions with 2,000 pound bombs, those that Biden deemed illegal to use in Gaza and the only ones he blocked shipments to Israel for. Yet the oil depot was not a mistake or 'collateral' damage.

Besides being a dual-use item, it's also a huge ecological disaster.

Hitting desalination plants is pure evil.
