You already bought into the false narrative from the press. Oil refineries, power grids, all have military significance. We bombed Germany and Japan's harbors and railways and even their cities in general during WWII.

Does energy/oil/electricity/gas aid IRGC military performance?
Of course it does. Does aiding the IRGC hurt humanity? Of course it does.
Good God man!
Sorry. The facts don't support your views. You offered exceptions to the rule and those exist.
That doesn't extrapolate to - we can destroy all water desalination infrastructure and it not be a war crime.
You often seem to be incredibly stupid for someone who claims to be a surgeon.

can't be a war crime if we aren't at war.

I don't recognize any court of law having jurisdiction over the actions of the United States as a country other than the constitutionally mandated US Justice system. I don't recall any laws passed by Congress or anything in the constitution stating what our military can or cannot target.

Nah, we carpet bombed German cities, Vietnam and Iraq and no crimes were charged then.
Well considering we did not carpet bomb Iraq and that both WW2 amd Vietnam happened before 1977, your argument makes no sense.

Here, let me break down international law for everyone:
Did the United States do it? Illegal, War Crime, against International Law, etc. etc. which can only be remedied by massive transfers of wealth from the US to the "international community"
Did any other country do it? Totes cool. Carry on.

Do you not acknowledge treaty power of the United States?
Like, for example, The Geneva Convention.

This thread is pitiful. So many (assuming voting age) posters have a rudimentary, at best, understanding of international law. No you can’t attack civilian infrastructure. Full stop.
So why was three so much cheering for the Palestinians? That not what they did?
So we are good on the Iran actions since they are a state sponsor of terror?

That doesn't extrapolate to - we can destroy all water desalination infrastructure and it not be a war crime.
2) Coastal military instillations are reliant on desalination.
3) Though we absolutely could destroy every desalination plant in the country and justify it, there was no such proposition issued. NONE! Additionally, re: any desalination plants, the term "maybe" was used in accompaniment.

Isn’t it a war crime if civilian targets are intentionally targeted to inflict harm on the general population?
ETA I say frick it and blow it all up and bring the regime to their knees but just wondered if it was technically considered a war crime.
ETAX2 Grok confirmed it would be.
I believe it's been widely reported the Iranians are doing some indiscriminate bombing of their own. I guess you can expect to get what you gave?

DUDE !
Here is your rhetorical:
"Basically you saying anyone who does not agree with harming innocent civilians love the Mullahs."
The actions in question would harm the Mullah regime by design.
So it is a binary choice.
Your choice:
(1) Harm the Mullah regime.
(2) Avoid harming the Mullah regime.
To be crystal clear, the Mullahs are enamored with harming innocent civilians perhaps more than any group of humans presently on earth.
Do you chose #1 or #2?

it's a war crime if they win, if we win it's not.
