Only read the title so what I say is just the face value is.
Taking out assets that keep people healthy and alive is a long term strategy. It is not about how it affects today tomorrow or next year. This affects the population for years. The data a graphs that come out 10, 15, 30 years from now will show how this effected the people of Iran.
I hope this ends and we,people of America, get stuck with the bill to help rebuild their civilian communities. I don’t want to pay up but if you agree with what is happing or not, it is now America’s responsibility to clean it up.
Hospitals are not legitimate targets for military attacks. Attacking them is by no means a “strategy,” but rather a crime against humanity.
Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict.
Oh I agree with your statement 100%. But as I stated I am only taking the title at face value. Places where vaccines and medications are produced are not the same as hospitals. Destroying these sites as well have no military value. The only value in it is to do long term harm to the people of the country. This statement I am making is not saying I am for it. It is just why I think they are doing it. And once again I am not for it. Hurting innocent populations of people in any way is unacceptable. We shouldn’t even be doing any of this to begin with.
In my view, an attack on any health infrastructure - of course - constitutes a war crime, a crime against humanity.
I consider this type of warfare despicable and contrary to international law (which is what the US’s illegal war of aggression against Iran is, anyway - not any better than the illegal war of aggression that Russia is waging against the people of Ukraine).
Of course, Iran is ruled by a barbaric, fundamentalist regime - but that does not give equally fundamentalist criminals, namely the horrendous US regime, the right to trample on international law like they do.
We will likely never find common ground on this issue, because I consider this war itself to be a crime, and all the more so given how barbarically it is being waged.
Edit: Btw - what you’re presenting here as a clever “strategy” pretty much fits the definition of genocide, since it involves wiping a people off the face of the earth using precisely those kinds of methods. Maybe look up the term or ask the US allies in Israel - they know a thing or two about the subject.
