Strikes on Bemani damaged key water reservoir for 20,000 people living in area amid a historic drought in the country
Military strikes that damaged two water storage facilities in southern Iran may constitute a war crime, military and legal experts say, after reviewing media reports and visual evidence of a 10 June strike on Bemani, a small district about 2 miles from the strait of Hormuz.
It’s unclear if the strikes deliberately targeted the district’s water tanks, or if they unintentionally destroyed a key reservoir for about 20,000 people living nearby. But if the tanks were the target, then the legal question becomes critical, Brian Finucane, a former state department lawyer, said. “It’s either a military objective or it’s a civilian object: attacking one is lawful, attacking the other is a war crime,” Finucane said.
I’ll do you one better: if the natives were able to kill the colonists that “discovered” the new world, we could have avoided the whole genocide and slavery thing.
yeah because genocide and slavery started in 1492?
pfftt hahaha… you ML guys either have tapioca for brains or actively ignore history…
wait, could it be both?
that said, " if the natives were able to kill the colonists that “discovered” the new world" coulda been cool af. But the Aztecs kinda already had a good grasp on genocide and slavery as their empire was built on outward expansion, acquisition of their neighbors and their property, and they were really into human sacrifice.
but yeah would be awesome to see the cortez and columbus types torn to pieces on the shores…
Obviously I was talking about the genocide and slavery that America is well known for. I love tapioca!
Yeah unfortunately they didn’t get the Cook treatment, lol.
