“Donald Trump, other senior US officials and their cheerleaders appear to be embracing attacks – and threats of attacks – on Iranian civilian infrastructure, which legal experts say appears to constitute serious war crimes under international law.
“ In a rambling national address on Wednesday, the US president warned that if Iran did not reach an unspecified deal with him, US forces would “hit each and every one of their electric-generating plants” and “bring [Iran] back to the stone ages – where they belong”.
“Following through on that threat a day later, Trump posted images of a strike on the unfinished B1 bridge near Tehran, warning: “Much more to follow!””
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yyyyyeeeeeeeeessssssssss
Yes, next question
Amazing to see it in the wild: a rare question headline where the answer is yes.
It’s really not that rare. I’ve always found that “law” to be kind of bullshit.
Is the US committing war crimes by targeting Iran’s civilian infrastructure?
Yes. Next question!
This is one of the many warcrimes they commit, yes.
Yes.
International law experts ‘seriously concerned’ about ‘strikes on schools, health centres and homes’ in contravention of Geneva conventions.
Well there it is folks, we just witnessed the full force of the actions taken when someone commits a war crime. I’m sure the administration will correct their future actions to avoid more “serious concerns.” Nothing stops a bloodthirsty tyrant like a wagging finger.
War crimes, sex crimes, financial crimes…lock them up, Nuremberg them and strip them all of their wealth and assets.
Fuck them all.
the US is committing war crimes by targeting Iran’s civilian infrastructure.
fixed that headline for them.
Oh please please can another country Maduro him for violating international law. America would thank you.
It’s beyond the targeting of civilian infrastructure (which is a war crime)
They’re deliberately “double tapping” which is a terrorist strategy (used by other shit governments like Israel) where you attack the same location roughly an hour later even tho the strike destroyed the target.
Because after the first strike, emergency responders have arrived, and the follow up is to kill them so they can’t provide aid in that strike or any other.
There’s almost no clearer war crime than that double tap, and Trump’s been doing them as standard procedure because no one has called him out.
Hell just keep going bigger till someone stops them, and if the US government won’t do it, if other governments won’t do it, it doesn’t leave many options to stop him
it’s like being a sniper, shooting someone in the kneecaps then shooting everyone that comes to rescue him
What’s worse is that once you establish this pattern, emergency services have to wait for the second strike, which means people die waiting for help. A lot of injuries go from “treatable” to “deadly” in that first hour.
Starting a war of aggression is already a war crime, which means Trump was guilty before we even set foot in (or flew over) Iran. Trying to use Betteridge’s Law Of Headlines to spread doubt about it is not going to be enough, here.
And then 168-some-odd schoolchildren were murdered on Trump’s orders. For this act alone he should be in irons already.
No nation did anything to stop israel from leveling gaza.
No nation is going to do anything to stop Iran from being attacked.
There’s no consequences to the people making the decisions to do this stuff, and those carrying out the orders. We all know it’s horrible. Nothing will happen though.
We just have to live with the side effects and the outcome. What else is gonna change? Certainly not politics until January 3rd of next year… unless the republicans change course, but good luck with that.
Some tried. See South Africa, Ireland, etc.
I am not voting for anyone in the 2028 primary who does not agree that the US should comply with International Criminal Court arrest warrants. If the subject is no longer in government, they need to be dragged onto a plane and sent to stand trial.
Yeah, this.
And if the word genocide doesn’t appear on their campaign website, they don’t get a vote.
It’s hard to remember he’s a massive pedophile deeply involved with Epstein when he’s committing all these war crimes right out in the open. Weird.
