Pretending that there's international law, even a court to enforce it, is just closing one's eyes. It's all talk when the court is alone, without any police power to enforce its judgements. The Rome Statute and the ICC exist to make people feel better, to have people believe that the world is just thanks to a few brave bureaucrats. These bureaucrats issue statements, judgements, even arrest warrants! That sounds serious. The judges even look serious.

> It was obviously an error because the building used to be a military facility

It is obvious to you because you want to believe it. It is not obvious to me at all. Here are my reasons.

I find it very hard to believe that they have not updated their map in the last 10-15 year of a country that (i) both the US and Israel have been itching to bomb for multiple decades and (ii) is riddled with HUMINT.

Israel's history of knowingly bombing schools in the past (in Egypt) certainly does not help the case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahr_El-Baqar_primary_school_b...

The pilot later went on to claim that this was deliberate.

   April 1970, Israeli Phantom
   fighter jets bombed the Bahr 
   al-Baqar elementary school in
   Egypt’s Sharqia governorate,
   killing 46 children out of 130
   who were in their classrooms
   that morning.

   Israel claimed the school was
   an Egyptian military facility,
   and Defense Minister Moshe
   Dayan said at the time that
   “the Egyptians may have put
   elementary school pupils in
   a military base".

   But an Israeli pilot who took
   part in the raid and was
   captured during the
   October 1973 war later
   revealed it had been a
   deliberate attack and that
   they knew it was merely a
   school.

Given the repetition, it smells target selection policy to me rather than an accident.

These kids would have been kids of IRGC personnel. Likely that was the reason.

The attacks, and follow through double taps, on alleged drug boats in South / Central Americas is a US war crime on multiple counts - perfidy, willful killing, lack of declaration of war, .. etc.

The US led "war of aggression" during peace negotiations as an undeclared attack is as much a war crime as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour.

The US school attacks in Iran might not have been delibrate targeting of civilians, but it was certainly negligent killing of civilians as an unforced error, planned in advance prior to an undeclared attack made during a period of negotiation.

Pointless arguing that here, and it'll never properly land in an international court ... so it's moot.

I don't think you need to be very biased to consider this a war of aggression.

Which, incidentally, is itself considered an international crime.

So, these children would be alive and as well as one can be inside the theocracy that is Iran unless the US and Israel committed the international crime of a war of aggression?

> Calling it a “school attack” implies deliberate targeting of a civilian facility.

>It was obviously an error because the building used to be a military facility and is on the campus of a military base!

... No actually, being on the campus of a military base doesn't make bombing an elementary school full of children not a war crime. If it helps, try imagining Iran bombing a school on a US military base.

And I can't help but notice that you're not mentioning the 497 other targeted schools which I made you aware of.

every single act by the US military in recent times is a war crime,pre meditated murder against people who pose no physical threat to the US, without a declaration of war. The very first act by the newly formed US military was the execution of unarmed women and children of a native tribe defending there ancient homeland. And the latest killing of one old Iatola and 200 little girls displays the wanton criminal and genocidal intent of a nation in deep denial.
