Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) denied responsibility for the airport strike, claiming the damage was caused by an error from a US missile interceptor.
US Central Command (Centcom) said this was false and claimed Iran struck the airport in a "deliberate, calculated and unjustified attack".
Is there evidence for either side's claims, or are we just supposed to believe whichever is our favorite of two of the least trustworthy governments in the world? I think we all know the US isn't against using false flag attacks...

When the US hits a civilian target, they deny it, but the facts are leaked in the press
When Iran or Russia hit a civilian target, they deny it. And that's about it.
Forget about reporting in Moscow or Tehran.

I think they learned that tactic from Israel, except Israel bombs hospitals

Iran doesn't need anyone's help when it comes to committing war crimes.

In Syria, Iranian commanders and Iranian militias are directly responsible for the rape, torture and murder of hundreds of thousands of Syrians.

Yes. I'm sure the Iranians are angels.
That's why they gave thousands of drones to Vladimir Putin to bomb Ukrainian civilians

Iran are not angels, but don’t start demonising them for bombing an airport.

Is Kuwait allowing US military to operate from that airport?

a bomb, in war??? what?

I feel like considering Iran's strategy during this war, they would probably admit to bombing the airport if it was them.
