Don’t know the source, or if they were real, or if the civilians were coerced if the photos were real.

Also not getting much reportage is China’s role in “encouraging” Iran to work with Pakistan to reduce tensions with the US (emptywheel had a brief mention of China in her latest post that I haven’t seen anywhere else)
