#RedCross calls for respect for #RulesOfWar
“The #military escalation in the #MiddleEast is igniting a dangerous chain reaction across the region, with potentially devastating consequences for #civilians,” #ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric said.
Spoljaric said civilian infrastructure, such as #schools, #homes & #hospitals, must be spared from attacks.

@Nonilex i don't think that these calls for respect for rules of war matter. We can see it in Ukraine.

#HakeemJeffries decries #Iran strikes without approval from #Congress
The #US #House #Democratic leader says that “Iran is a bad actor & must be aggressively confronted for its human rights violations, nuclear ambitions, support of terrorism & the threat it poses to our allies like Israel & Jordan in the region.”
But Jeffries said that outside “exigent circumstances,” #Trump “must seek authorization for the preemptive use of #military #force that constitutes an act of #war.”

#Trump “failed to seek Congressional authorization prior to striking #Iran,” #HakeemJeffries said. He also said that the latest round of strikes “has left American troops vulnerable to Iran’s retaliatory actions.”
“We pray for the safety of the men & women of the #US #military as they have been put into harm’s way in a dangerous theater of #war,” Jeffries said.

#UN Secretary-General #AntónioGuterres, meanwhile, condemned the strikes on #Iran & the Islamic Republic’s retaliation.
“The use of force by the #UnitedStates & #Israel against Iran, & the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & #security,” Guterres said in a statement. He also called for an immediate ceasefire & for all parties to return to the negotiating table.

#SaudiArabia says #Iran targeted its capital, Riyadh, & its eastern region in an attack.
Saudi Arabia made the announcement on its state-run Saudi Press Agency. It called the attack “blatant & cowardly” & said it was repelled. Saudi Arabia had reached a Chinese-mediated detente with Iran in 2023.

Yeah
Just wait until the first #American war casualty comes home in a #BodyBag
Anybody want to put money down now on the bet that #DonaldTrump will *not* be on the runway, attending to place a folded US flag on the coffin?
Yeah
Me neither...

@Nonilex well, there’s his strongly-worded letter; that’s all we’re going to see from him.
Not sure what else you expect him to do without a majority? The can sue, but as you know that’ll take years to resolve while the damage is being done.
Until the people of the United States elect a Democratic majority in the House & hopefully the Senate as well, unless you want Dems to start breaking laws like Republicans — which would negate their authority, statements, speeches, lawsuits etc are all the Democrats can do.

@Nonilex @OGjester the wheels are falling off we don’t have till November.
The least worst party is also to blame for the situation we are in. #billionaire run #corporations control the media streams feeding the undereducated masses.

Playing by the rules has us here. Writing strongly-worded statements has us here. We're getting nowhere by adhering to norms and laws.
The moral high ground isn't a bragging point when schoolchildren are being murdered.
We absolutely need to elect a Dem majority. But we need Dems who aren't afraid of their shadows. Dems who will do more than issue a strongly-worded statement. Dems who actually WORK FOR THE PEOPLE. I don't see that in the current Dems in office.

British PM #KeirStarmer says that while the #UK didn’t participate in the attack on #Iran, its planes provided air defense for its people & allies in the region.
“We’ve stepped up protections from British bases & personnel to their highest level,” #Starmer said.
He didn’t comment on the attacks by the #US & #Israel, but condemned Iran’s response that included strikes on many #MiddleEast #allies.

The Iranian leadership is “utterly abhorrent,” has killed its own people & destabilized the region & should never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, #Starmer said.
He urged de-escalation & a return to negotiations to achieve peace & protect civilians.
“#Iran can end this now,” he said. “They should refrain from further strikes, give up their weapons program & cease the appalling violence & repression against the Iranian people.”

@Nonilex Coming out with supporting “aggressive confrontation” while complaining only that he didn’t have a say in it is a choice I would have liked to see him make differently.

“Moral high ground” isn’t at issue. Living in a rules-based-order world is. I have no interest in the Democratic Party abandoning the rule of law. Right now the US is a failing democracy because of the Republican Party. If both parties abandon the rule of law, there is no chance to ever be a democracy again.
Republicans must be held to account for breaking the law. That cannot happen in a country without any laws.
