PAX Americana, death and destruction

Legal experts have repeatedly denounced US and Israeli attacks over the past year, including those of last June, as illegal under international law.
For Marko Milanovic, a professor of public international law at the University of Reading School of Law, who has written extensively on the topic, that argument still stands.
Are the US–Israeli strikes on Iran justified under international law?
Expert says attacks on Iran breach the UN's founding charter and the rules governing legitimate self-defence

“The strikes are clearly illegal, in that they are a breach of the UN Charter, which prohibits unilateral resort to force between states,” he told Middle East Eye after Saturday’s strikes.
“Self-defence is the only possible exception to that prohibition that Israel and the US could rely on, but the requirements for lawful self-defence are not met.”

@foufoutos I read that these strikes are just the older arsenal to poke and that real attack as retaliatory will happen gradually and more deadly as long the aggression lasts. -

Persian Gulf states condemned Iranian missile strikes targeting US bases on their territory in retaliation for the US-Israeli “pre-emptive” assault on Iran, calling them violations of sovereignty.

Have the EU institutions and bodies issued any statement on the unprovoked US-Israeli attack on Iran?
Have those who are so vocal against Russia and China, Ursula, and Calas uttered anything at all?

Foreign affairs committee chair Emily Thornberry has celebrated the lack of UK involvement in US strikes on Iran. But there’s a couple of issues, not just with this claim, but the entire track record of the person making it…
Emily Thornberry lauds UK's 'non-involvement' in Iran strike. But there's a problem.
Thornberry is rightly condemning the attack on Iran – but it's too late to merit an applause and hardly penance for her defence of Israel

It’s great news that Thornberry has the foresight to recognise the illegal war on Iran for what it is… only, it’s a little late to merit an applause and hardly serves as penance for her past support of Israel.
Another glaring issue with Thornberry’s comments is that the UK is involved in the attack on Iran. On 28 February, when UK PM Keir Starmer FINALLY got round to making a public statement, he admitted it

@foufoutos I know of a country that will be wagging their tail to get involved and feel "national pride" for it

Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Iran, stated in an interview with NBC news that he doesn't know why "the US administration insists to start a negotiation" and attack the other party in the middle of it.
He added that "perhaps, it was others who dragged the US" into the conflict, as joint US-Israeli air strikes on Iran killed dozens of Iranians on Saturday, including schoolgirls.

Albusaidi said to CBS:
• A “peace deal is within our reach.”
• Iran has agreed it will “never, ever” possess nuclear material capable of producing a bomb.
Existing enriched uranium stockpiles would be:
• Blended down to the lowest possible level.
• Converted into fuel in a way that would be irreversible.
• There would be “zero accumulation, zero stockpiling, and full verification.”
• Iran is prepared to grant the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) full access to nuclear sites.

He is “quite confident” that even US inspectors could eventually gain access under a fair and durable agreement.
More time is needed to finalize technical details, with talks scheduled in Vienna on Monday.
However, US President Donald Trump struck a more skeptical tone, saying he is “not happy” with the pace of negotiations and has not yet decided whether to authorize military strikes. He said Iran is “not willing to give us what we have to have,” adding, “We’ll see what happens.”
