Never ask Israel how they were able to know Iran was going to launch a counter attack bc they hacked Iranian security cams and phones, but somehow were totally blindsided by Hamas in 2023 and that nobody could have seen it coming

Not only are we targeting military targets, and actively avoiding civilian ones, we’re actively avoiding targeting Artesh and instead of going after IRGC. Additionally, usually the definition implies non-state actors. This is literally state on state. While I don’t agree with it, I wouldn’t frame it as terrorism, lol would I frame it as “during peace time”. (Not that doing it during wartime is any better. )

Not even talking about Iran although I would consider starting an illegal war by assassinating a foreign head of state terrorism

Fair enough. What were you referring to? I like your policy, is Maduro acceptable?

We are not avoiding civilian targets by any means? We bombed a girls school immediately after starting the illegal war. To your point about the violence being carried out by nonstate actors, that definition is a constant debate within terrorism academia but it is somewhat accepted that states can be classified as terrorist if they target civilians- or stronger words and implications (ex: war crimes) should be used instead to describe this violence

*If a state **funds** a nonstate actor that kill chain can be classified as a terror organization, If a state commits war crimes then would it not just be a state committing war crimes and/or crimes against humanity?

On the “girls school”. No. 🇮🇷 The country famous for women’s rights, equality, and education?! No. There was a madrasna but considering there was an erector/launcher on the roof, by most int’l law that is a valid military target. That doesn’t even take into account U.S. def. Of permissible targeting solutions. While the initiation is iffy in terms of “Pursuant to §8 of the NPT,” I will say it’s kinda wild that 🇮🇶 2 was legal.
