Do Not Commit War Crimes for Anyone; citing superior orders to justify war crimes does not absolve the perpetrators of criminal liability.
The U.S. ruling establishment intends to sacrifice whatever remains of international humanitarian law and the foundations of human ethics and civilization to its insatiable appetite for war and slaughter.
A policy that calls for the destruction of bridges and power plants is manifestly unlawful and criminal. It constitutes reprisal and collective punishment—both of which are explicitly prohibited as war crimes under international humanitarian law and U.S. domestic law alike, specifically under 18 U.S.C. § 2441 (the War Crimes Act). There is no statute of limitations for these offenses. The Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Department of Defense Law of War Manual make it unequivocally clear that service members have both a legal and moral duty to refuse manifestly unlawful orders.
Iran stands firm and resolute against lawlessness and the flouting of the law.
I think I must have been misunderstood, but the mod deleted my comment so I can’t put an edit at the bottom.
We can still see your comment in the mod log. The main post is from Esmaeil Baqaei, the spokesperson of Iran. He works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Iran.
Your post said “this is the pot calling the kettle black”. Esmaeil Baqaei urged US troops to not commit war crimes. The idiom you used is an accusation of hypocrisy. I think people interpreted your comment to say that Iran commits war crimes as often as the United States.

I did not report your comment. Somebody else must have. The mod log says your comment was removed for rule 4. Hexbear global rule 4 says that comments must not support bigotry or right wing ideology. I think the mod removed your comment because placing blame on Iran for the war gives justification to US aggression against Iran.

I’m trying to be not hostile. I don’t know what you actually meant by the comment was deleted. I hope that you don’t believe that Iran commits war crimes as frequently as the US. My previous comment was written to explain that over the past 10 years, US has been aggressive to Iran and Iran has shown restraint in response.
I disagree with the Iranian government because they killed a lot of protestors and sometimes women over hijab issues. I am disgusted with both sides right now. I’m also very upset about the Iranian girls who were killed at the school recently. The US is becoming a cess pit in general.
It’s my understanding that most Iranians are cool but have a shitty gov. The US gov is really shitty and getting worse every day. A government does not need to commit war crimes to be shitty. If that was the offense that led to the deletion of the comment, then so be it. Just because Iran is a victim of aggression in this case does not mean their regime is made of nice people. If my country and the Iranian people ever have justice, we’ll live through the rule of all these bastards and hopefully Israel will disappear in the fold somewhere too.
I want to make it abundantly clear that nobody misunderstood you. Everyone who read your comment on this website strongly disagrees with what you said.
It does not matter if you agree with governance structure of Iran, at all. It does not factor into the situation of the war at all. Their governance is a civil issue and it will be decided by the people who live there.
The United States is not the world police. The US regime does not topple other governments for the purpose of liberating any person. The US regime topples other governments for self interest, ie for the profits of the capitalist ruling class. Looking back at the history of the last 100 years, the US attacked countless countries including Korea, Vietnam, numerous countries in South America, Africa, etc.
THE IRANIAN PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THE US GOVERNMENT TO OVERTHROW THEIR GOVERNMENT. No country in history has been better off after the US overthrew it, besides Nazi Germany. I give credit to the Soviets for defeating Nazi Germany.
On February 28 2026, the US assassinated Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and then Trump went on Truth Social and said now is the time for Iranians to overthrow their government. Iranians did not choose to overthrow their government. Instead, on the week of July 3, an estimated 40 millions Iranians attended the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khameni. The country has a population of 90 million people.

You’ve conceded that you are not aware the Iran has committed war crimes but also you’re upset that Iran “killed a lot of protestors” ie Iran allegedly killed pro-US insurrectionists. US government officials (ex Mike Pompeo) said that these “protestors” were being backed by Mossad and Trump said that he gave them guns. These “protestors” are people who accepted weapons from an enemy state and tried to incite a civil war on the behest of that enemy state that started a different war with Iran in 2025. What is your expectation to happen in this situation? Which government on earth would tolerate pro-US armed insurrectionists?
You are either profoundly misinformed and/or on the side of US imperialism. I have hope that you can change.

Nobody I know in the US wants agression against Iran. People do not want more war. I am definitely not on the side of US imperialism, but it is likely that I am misinformed and will study the situation further. The citizens of the US are a war-weary bunch and have been for at least 10 years. Even Trump’s voters are livid.
I don’t mind being wrong sometimes if it’s an opportunity to learn something.
In any case, I agree with what you said, but there is one thing. Mossad or some other nutcase entity arming protesters does not necessarily mean that the protestors were wrong. It is possible that both the protestors had valid concerns without the influence of those arming them, and that US attacks are unjustified. Sometimes interests align. The funeral doesn’t invalidate that the attacks by the US were awful and that there was an event available to show solidarity afterwards.
It’s not unreasonable to have the opinion that Iran’s regime sucks since that is unrelated to how much the US sucks. The two suck independently. They both sucked before all this happened, and recognizing that is not some US apologist effort.
