Because these will be (if done) found to be 100% war crimes lol they’re like the most basic and widely precedented kind too. Literal Disney villain levels of childish evil and ineptitude

Except the Geneva convention only applies if the other side is also following the rules. As Iran has struck desalination plants and power plants in Kuwait, civilian infrastructure in Bahrain, and more across the gulf state area, the US can strike both power and water infrastructure (and probably more) and it won't be at fault for any war crimes.

True, it’s the old “well it was legal murder, so…”

Well you can't have a war without killing people, if thats how you think about it then killing the nazis was just "legal murder" too. Should they have just let them be because it's mean to kill people? And frankly striking a power plant or a bridge is gonna be a low casualty strike, maybe a no casualty strike, so not really murder at that point. And since Iran did it first (especially the desalination plants in a kingdom as small as Kuwait, 100% a war crime), it's ethically reasonable.

I can't get drafted! I hope you like the gas prices while you sit around and wait for Iran to get bored and decide they want to reopen the straight all by themselves like big boys.

Well you can't change the past can you, you can only work on the current situation and go from there. Also not illegal or pointless, but I digress. It sucks, war sucks, never fun. But once you're there you gotta do what needs to be done.

They're not just gonna give up the only leverage they have. They will hold onto it with a death grip until their ability to prevent transit is removed. And it will, eventually, be removed.

Thats true and i see what you’re saying but really what is the point of this? I might get it if we were trying to implement positive change in Iran but thats not going to happen by these means

It is illegal and pointless. That is a fact. It's illegal according to both federal and international law, and there was never a nuclear threat. Do better.

Is blowing up the leaders of a foreign country not an act of war?We are waging an undeclared offensive war. The president does not have the authority to attack random countries without Congress.

No good reason. Israel did it because Bibi knows he is running out of time, because Americans have reasoned Israel is a sick country that wants to murder all its neighbors and is a bad ally. This is probably the last chance they’ve got to make progress towards Greater Israel, so they’re gonna swing at anyone they can rope America into doing the actual fighting of.
