International humanitarian law prohibits countries from targeting civilian facilities, and dictates that a military must do everything possible to limit harm to civilians even if they are striking military targets. Photos of the facility posted by Iranian officials show that the building appears completely destroyed, with the top floor charred and blown out while destruction spilled down to the ground floor.

    I think if you do this your country loses the right to claim that civilians shouldn’t be targets. It’s the only way the population might stop the authoritarians, if they survive long enough. In the meantime, bring on the school and hospital bombings to US and Israel, we deserve it.

      Great, let’s start with your house if you think you deserve it.

      May I now ask why you think people in a country deserve to die purely based on them being born there?

      Some of us have been trying to stop these psychopaths. Do we deserve death?

      You can justify all manner of horrible things with “it’s the only way”; chemical warfare, blood and nerve agents, etc. Best to actually just follow LOAC. Problem is that they get carte blanche and a blank check.

      To clarify: I realize those mean the same thing sort of, but not connotatively.
