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.
Put it on the pile.
The fuck do they mean “may?” In what realistic context does it not?
I was thinking the exact same thing. This world has become a clownshow.
US Presidents and war crimes go together like Republicanism and pedophilia, classic combo.
War crime? More like bore crime. It’s time for some cagefighting at the White House! WOOOOO!!!
Well, Trump is a convicted criminal so might as well add War criminal to that list.
Getting really sick of these headlines feigning ignorance
“may”. Lol
Have a fucking spine.
“Targeting civil infrastructure is a war crime… we destroyed civilian infrastructure”
This entire administration is a war crime
It pretty obviously is one. But who is really the governing authority to make it official?
may constitute a war crime?!?
Tired of all this limply worded tripe that comes from people’s mouths and headlines.
Bombing a school for young girls is a war crime. Still no punishments
WAR Crimes? FINALLY something to STOP the Law and Order Crowd! ANY Minute they’ll DENOUNCE these WAR CRIMES because it’s OPPOSITE Law AND Order! ANY Minute it will happen! SOON!
That hesgeth ain’t no sissy. He’s a war criminal. Him and the whole administration. Fuck. These. Animals.
Bruh the administration has been like… “We’re going to do war crimes”… then proceed to do what they said… and the lawyers are like “Welll maaybeee its a bit war-crimey…” while the administration is like yeah no dog we doing war crimes.
Dunno why the voters who didnt do anything when they couldve are upset that the shitty govt they got isnt doing anything. Well duh.
That’s the part that pisses me off most. If kamala would’ve won, she’d be better than trump, for sure. But beyond that, this fucker would be rotting in prison right now.
Correct.
Now think on: If Bernie had won 2016, we could have been spared all of this madness.
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 would be awesome to see the cortez and columbus types torn to pieces on the shores…
Yeah unfortunately they didn’t get the Cook treatment, lol.
Biden’s AG didn’t, and she campaigned exclusively to republicans, no shot she’d appoint an AG who would, for fear of alienating the imaginary moderate republicans.
You’re talking federal crimes though. If he didn’t become president again, it wouldn’t be up to the federal government. He had more than enough crimes against states to put him away for life.
You do realize Jack Smith put together two bullerproof cases against him and they were both ready to go to court, and the only reason they didn’t was because the Scotus punted until after the election…?
Lmao. You think Kamala “fundamentally the same as Biden” Harris would prosecute trump, after Biden declined to pursue justice?
State crimes at least would have gotten him there.
Sure buddy, he’d be the first and only president to face any justice, lol.
Dunno why the voters would be so apathetic when both candidates were pro genocide and pro war. Weird.
Well at least they followed through on what they said for once
May?
Exactly… May?
bro, whether or not if was the intended target should not affect if it was a war crime or not??
you can’t just say oops teehee 😇 and absolve yourself???
