" US media have reported that US military investigators believe American forces were likely responsible for hitting the school unintentionally at the start of the joint US-Israeli operation." 1. A tragic miscalculation isn't a war crime. 2. The political press machine was both stupid and disrespectful to work to discredit those who were probably voicing the reality and push alternative (less likely) theories as facts. I've the dust settles and the facts are known, they could then look like callous and partisan fools (hence a stupid position to take). | |||

Apparently they were using intelligence from back in 2013… so it’s incompetent at best But the story keeps changing day on day.. blaming Iran saying it was one of their weapons, then saying it was a tomahawk sold to someone else, now trying to not answer at all… It will get buried under “under investigation” they won’t ever admit it | |||

"Democrats in the US Senate have written to Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth demanding answers about the strike on a primary school in Iran that Iranian officials say killed 168 people, including about 110 children. US media have reported that US military investigators believe American forces were likely responsible for hitting the school unintentionally at the start of the joint US-Israeli operation. What will father of four Hesgeth say about it? " Good luck trying to pin it on Teflon Trump. | |||

" Apparently they were using intelligence from back in 2013… so it’s incompetent at best " Also saw that - very similar to the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-48134881 "Old map" was given as the reason there, too. | |||

We have the best intelligence in the world’ | |||

"3.2m Iranians have fled their homes to find safety from the joint US-Israeli aerial bombing campaign bombarding the country, according to preliminary assessments by the the UN refugee agency That’s alot of people living on or next to nuclear sites (that were previously reported as destroyed) " Not just nuclear... Also components in nuclear research and manufacture, drone and missile components across the entire manufacturing chain, ports, IRGC and Basij bases, airports, weapons stockpiles, other strategic targets. | |||

If it was actually targeting something legitimate, such as a military installation immediately next door. Not it it were a blind "let's see what we can hit" scenario. | |||

"I’m doubtful the US deliberately targeted schoolchildren. There wouldn’t seem to be much point. Iran however seems to merrily lob missiles at civilian targets on a daily basis." Simple answers are always the best. US "good", Iran ( Muslims ) "bad". No investigation required " nothing to see here". | |||

Unfortunately in all wars mistakes are made and innocent "collateral damage" casualties are incurred. Whether it counts as a "war crime" is highly debatable. Despite launching the attack the US would gave gained no benefit from the strike on a school. Does someone need to be brought to account - most definitely but the person ultimately responsible will hide behind Presidential immunity. | |||

"I’m doubtful the US deliberately targeted schoolchildren. There wouldn’t seem to be much point. Iran however seems to merrily lob missiles at civilian targets on a daily basis." Iran weren’t lobbing missiles at anyone until Trump started the attacks. Horrid regime I agree, four weeks on 160 school kids and teachers killed, 1500 odd civilians, global fuel prices up, uk mortgage / swap rates up, shipping insurance increased, a few US service personnel killed. Despite claims of army, navy and air force destroyed, Iran still has the capability to shoot down an F15 | |||

If Israel is accountable for war crimes under ICC (all their ordnance supplied by USA) then the mistaken bombing of a school is also a war crime? | |||

Its pointless debating war crimes for countries like Israel, US, Russia, China etc. Everyone knows no one will do anything about it. Only people who face war crime trials are deposed African warlords or a deposed head of small countries like Milosevic. | |||

"Interesting topic on war crimes and the good ol’ US intelligence not knowing a weapon of mass destruction from a lamppost. The US military has been guilty of war crimes since the 4th of July 1776. There used to be a website where you could try and horribly fail to find a day where the US military was not involved in some skirmish somewhere in the world. More Allies die from American fire than anything else during every conflict where we have stood side by side As for innocent kids Do I begin with Hue Offensive Vietnam 1967 or can I go further back " Oh dear.. Sweeping claims like this, say more about the argument than the history in my opinion. Happy to be corrected if there are verifiable stats that back up the claims. | |||

"I’m doubtful the US deliberately targeted schoolchildren. There wouldn’t seem to be much point. Iran however seems to merrily lob missiles at civilian targets on a daily basis." In the last week the US and Israel have lobbed missiles at water plants, at a children’s hospital, and at a world renowned medical and pharmaceutical facility… Trump literally gave the game away by saying civilian infrastructure such as power plants would be next… | |||

Presumably Iran continually and deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure is a crime as well. I don't think the fact that the US and Israel fired first stops this being a crime, but maybe it does as all the focus on the possible crimes seems to be on the US. For a country that were defeated weeks ago they certainly seem to be good at shooting planes down the longer this goes on | |||
