I hate to break it to you too but I don't care about your domestic set up, the attack is a violation of international law.
lol... Well, the only thing more complex on these matters than US law is international law. Again, it is absolutely NOT a slam dunk either way.
They have the right to attack US military stuff on the grounds that the US illegally attacked their nuclear facilities. shocking that you don't understand this stuff
Right back at you there.
Sorry not sorry, but there are no retaliation or revenge clauses in international law governing military actions.
Of course, Iran wasn't actually trying to retaliate, and they certainly weren't acting in self-defense. That would be absurd on numerous levels, including:
- The Qatar base wasn't used in the bombings
- The bombers flew from the middle of the US to Iran and back again without landing
- Iran notified the US military in advance of the strikes
No, it's obvious that Iran just wanted to look tough, mostly so the current government could tell its citizens that it's taking action. And I'm pretty sure there is no "propaganda" exception to international law, too.
That would be an act of aggression against US forces in Qatar BUT they attacked that base because the US attacked them first. Seems you don't get it.
lol
It is very clear that Iran launched its completely ineffectual attack for show. That doesn't mean that the attack was legal under international law... especially if you're going to be super strict about the application of those laws.
You don't have to declare war to be guilty of illegal attacks. Your commentary is frighteningly daft imo
No, I'm just talking about US law. You even KNOW I was discussing US law. Yeesh.
And no it wouldn't justify a full scale invasion of Iran because you evidently have no ****ing idea about the proportionality side of international law.
Hello? I'm trying to make the point that these kinds of small scale attacks are NOT declarations of war. Try to keep up.
I already explained it, and yes I'm talking about US law. Try to keep up.
