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’m so sick of all the conditional language that lets trump continue to be a piece of shit that should have been imprisoned decades ago for rapes and tax dodging among other crimes or shot for war crimes today.
The crazier thing is that all these news organizations have lawyers on retainers and still they don’t use them. Call it a war crime, put your lawyers to work. A bunch of fucking cowards the lot of them.
Then you have “entertainment news” out there calling Obama a muslim born in Kenya for a decade. The world is upside down.
