Hitting critical civilian infrastructure like schools, hospitals and desalination plants are all war crimes. As are double tap strikes where you bomb the same place later to kill aid workers. I imagine Israel asked the US to join in Israels ongoing campaign of war crimes so they dont have to be alone in that. When the US whitewashes its crimes in a few years I suppose Israel will hope to blame the US for all of their years of war crimninaity and sleeze their way out of their own accountability.

Few acts say "crimes against humanity" better than bombing a country's water supply.
There's a certain dam in Iraq which could have been targeted at any point during the Iran-Iraq war. Doing so would have guaranteed ended the war in Iran's favor, killing hundreds of thousands of people in a single act in the process.
Some things are not worth doing. Winning like that is not winning.
Ah yes, desalination plants - the top priority military targets when invading a country to free its people.
They also made a wise decision preemptively taking out the elementary schoolgirls.
More dangerous than even Khammaaazzz!
Iran, contact me if you're ever somehow able to start targeting the US mainland.
I'll adjust your fire.
Attacking desalination plants is not a front the US wants to open. Another horribly idiotic strategic decision by the burger reich. Iran is 3% dependent on desalination, meanwhile US vassals in the region are at 40-90%.
Looks like the vassal states are abandoning their US masters.
Just as the US is running from every base there.
As an Iranian, I hope that Iran can show restraint here. Please do not target desalination plants, and be mindful when attacking power plants in the Gulf region. These countries are extremely weak and fragile, power outages and water shortages could cause massive widespread suffering that I wish upon no-one.
With that said, pipelines in KSA and Azerbaijan should probably get a visit from a 136 as soon as possible.
Still illegal, still monstrous.
oh absolutely, it's a war crime plain and simple
Conventions on war crimes are a mutual agreement on restraints both parties place on themselves. They work, as long as neither party wants to lose face or support by being the one to break their word, and as long as both parties can afford to.
Trump never gave a shit about keeping his own word, let alone anyone else's.
I'm not sure Iran can afford to keep theirs now.
He is actively hoping for retaliatory action from literally anyone so he can justify calling for martial law and suspending the constitution.
and the democratic party establishment will actively oppose him, saying "just wait and see until you lift martial law, we'll vote you out so bad, and then keep sending money and weapons to israel just like you did".
Finger wagging intensifies
These don't work when the aggressor has not civilian infrastructure in the region. gulf monarchies gonna find out why you dont let other countries occupy your territory.
I thought we arent supposed to hurt civilians in a war according to international laws but yelp it is indirect and also US is above all those things
The palestinian genocide made it clear that international law doesn't apply to USrael.
And this nazi genocider bootlicker isn't the only one.
Shame on the EU too. Mask off
Oh that’s because this isn’t a war. I mean come on learn the difference.
Since it isn’t a war there are less rules and we ( the USA) can just do as we please with no repercussions at all. None at all.
