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.

> double taps, on alleged drug boats

Those are war crimes, and the US specifically teaches that specific scenario to their naval officers as something that can land them in serious legal trouble.

		The school attack was a double tap. A triple tap, even: first one strike, then a second strike timed when first responders would be assumed to be at the scene, then a hit on the closest medical clinic. Where's the legal trouble? Hegseth specifically said they wouldn't bother with rules of war, they are confirmed to have committed one thing even you agree is a war crime, so why do you want to give them the benefit of the doubt on the choice of target? I don't think you would have given declared US enemies the benefit of that doubt, in a similar situation.
