Crimes of Aggression Against Iran<\/h1>\n

For the second time in under a year, the US and Israel have launched a brutal and unprovoked war of aggression against Iran.\u00a0 This war is illegal under US and international law and is a crime of aggression.\u00a0 Iran has neither initiated a war nor is there any credible evidence that Iran has pursued nuclear weapons, yet the US and Israel are pursuing a war of aggression against Iran.<\/p>\n

Unlike Israel, Iran is a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty because Iran opposes developing nuclear weapons on religious grounds.\u00a0 Furthermore, Iran fully complied with the 2015 nuclear deal that ensured that Iran would not obtain a nuclear weapon.\u00a0 However, the nuclear deal was torn up during the 1st Trump administration because the Israel lobby and Israeli regime opposed the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n

The US is waging war against Iran because the nominal president, Donald Trump, is a puppet of Miriam Adelson and Israeli Prime Minister (and de-facto US President) Benjamin Netanyahu, who has demanded for years that the US wage war on Iran.\u00a0 Netanyahu has consistently claimed since 1992 that Iran is on the verge of obtaining a nuclear weapon, when Iran has never pursued nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

We should remember that in 2002, Netanyahu also testified before Congress that the war on Iraq would have, \u201cenormous positive reverberations on the region.\u201d The war on Iraq was another brutal and unprovoked war of aggression that had catastrophic consequences for the Middle East, including millions of dead civilians and the rise of Salafist terrorist groups.<\/p>\n

So far, the US and Israel have murdered over 1000 Iranian civilians, including about 165 children at the Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school as a result of the US bombing the school. Bombing schools and murdering children is the\u00a0modus operandi<\/em>\u00a0of the US and Israeli regimes.\u00a0 Tucker Carlson remarked on the school bombing by the US military, \u201cBecause if you wake up one morning, and you\u2019re living in the kind of country that thinks it\u2019s okay to kill not simply military officers, but their daughters? That\u2019s not a country that\u2019s worth fighting for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drop Site News<\/em>\u00a0quoted the father of a 6-year-old girl murdered in the strike, \u201cI cannot understand how a place where innocent children learn can be bombed like this. We are talking about small children who knew nothing of politics or wars. And yet they are the ones paying the highest price.\u201d<\/p>\n

RT<\/em>\u00a0reported that Alireza Sanei, Iran\u2019s ambassador to Belarus, alleged that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was part of a \u201cmystical cult\u201d and that the same forces attacked the school in \u201csome ritual of child sacrifice\u201d to bring success to the US and Israeli regimes.<\/p>\n

In addition to murdering children, the US and Israel are destroying Iran\u2019s environment.\u00a0 Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry asserted that attacks on an oil depot are \u201cintentional chemical warfare\u201d against Iranians. The US and Israel carried out missile attacks on oil depots in the provinces of Tehran and Alborz as part of their strikes on Iran\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Press TV<\/em>\u00a0reported, \u201cBy targeting fuel depots, the aggressors are releasing hazardous materials and toxic substances into the air, poisoning civilians, devastating the environment, and endangering lives on a massive scale.\u201d\u00a0 How many Iranians will die of cancer and other diseases from the toxic substances that are being released into the air by the US and Israel?<\/p>\n

The war on Iran and must be immediately stopped and its perpetrators must be prosecuted for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.<\/p>\n
