The US attacks on Iran breached international law

Posted on

It is worth noting these protocols this morning:

Those looking for a let-out might claim section 2 of this Article provides it:

What is very clear is that the plants the US attacked overnight did not meet the criteria noted.

The conclusion is obvious. The US attacks on Iran breached the Geneva Convention of 1949. They were illegal.

Trump might like to claim Iran is a terror threat, but any country conducting illegal warfare most certainly meets that criterion.  The USA does do so.


My thanks to Dr David Lowry for reminding me of this.
