Bombing Iran Would Be Criminal Aggression

“The Washington Post reports that Israel may attack Iran’s nuclear facilities in the first half of this year …. The Israeli government has been threatening to do this for decades, but this time they might follow through on their threat to launch a major unprovoked attack on Iranian territory. No state can lawfully use force against another in this way. If Israel launches such an attack, it will be committing an act of criminal aggression. The Netanyahu government obviously doesn’t care if it tramples on international law and the U.N. Charter, but the rest of us should.” (02/13/25)
