Cluster bombs became a matter of international attention once again when the United States began its air campaign in Afghanistan in October 2001. The United States had used them previously and extensively in the 1991 Gulf War and the 1999 NATO campaign in Yugoslavia, leading to discussion about the pros and cons of a weapon containing submunitions. The Afghan conflict renewed this debate. The U.S. military considered cluster bombs a valuable part of its Afghan arsenal. In 232 strikes during the first six months of the war, the United States dropped about 1,228 CBUs with 248,056 bomblets. Their use, however, generated wartime criticism from governments and NGOs and gave new life to the push for cluster bomb regulation.
After what’s called a parent munition is launched, it releases smaller submunitions at an altitude of 7-10 kilometers (4-6 miles). These bomblets scatter across a large area, from several hundred meters (yards) to several kilometers (miles), trading precision for coverage.
Critics worldwide argue that cluster munitions kill or maim indiscriminately, with unexploded bomblets remaining dangerous long after their use. In Israel, they can be especially dangerous because most of the missiles have been aimed at its densely populated center.
“Cluster bombs don’t create real damage to buildings, only people,” said Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at Israel’s Institute for National Security Studies.
Iran tv is claiming a lot, boasting shit that didnt happen its almost funny if you didnt know they mean what the say.
Like Israel is bombing refugeecamps in Lebanon (not true) and that Iran killed over 500 soldiers. and the last one is that the USA attacked Bahrain, Turkey and Kuwait si their neighbours dont like Iran not so much.
Most funny thing is that they say is that Israel is stealing their rainclouds.
These Idiots are the same like Ali Chemically from Iraq that claimed in a live interview the won the war while the US tanks rolled over a bridge in the backround.

Cluster munitions are against Geneva Convention Rules:
