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.
When did the US leave NATO?
Pretty sure they’re thinking of the UN (whose Geneva Convention first codified war crimes)…and still wrong about the US leaving 😄
Soon enough if they actually try to charge Trump with being a war criminal, lol
The NATO charges people with anything? Are you by any chance american?
No. The UN does iirc, I mistaked the UN for NATO, but I thought it made the quote funnier since Trump wouldn’t know the difference, would he? Yes though, I am an American
Funny how you thought its funny that Trump makes the mistake while making the mistake. He is so stupid amiright?
I mean, he’s said worse
