The United States will not go to war with Iran. The Armed Forces will never admit it publicly, but they know full well an invasion and occupation will be a complete nightmare tactically and administratively.
Wasn't this news like a month ago? The second an Iranian drone hit anything other than military infrastructure they 'contributed' to war crimes. >

Thought this was pretty much confirmed a few months ago already. I'm super sure there have been multiple headlines about iranian drones/weapons/missiles being somehow delivered to russia >


The Biden administration said Monday that Iran’s sale of lethal drones to Russia for use in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine means the country may be “contributing to widespread war crimes.”

...

Sullivan said Iran had chosen “to go down a road where their weapons are being used to kill civilians in Ukraine and to try to plunge cities into cold and darkness, which from our point of view, puts Iran in a place where it could potentially be contributing to widespread war crimes.”

...

State Department spokesman Ned Price said Monday that the U.S. is already contributing money, expertise and other logistical support to Ukrainian and international investigators probing allegations of war crimes. He said those probes could well extend beyond Russia’s actions.
“If in the course of that work we are in a position to determine that the Iranian government as a whole or that senior Iranian officials are complicit or responsible for war crimes, we will work to hold them to account as well,” he told reporters. >

I'm so glad the US is contributing so much to investigate these war crimes, it sure makes me feel safe that they are so focused on holding war criminals to account. I'm so glad they do not shelter or sponsor war criminals. I'm sure the US would be all for an international court to be set up to hold trials for war criminals, I wish the rest of the world would catch up. /s >

The US would surely stick to its principles and send its own citizens to be prosecuted at such a court I’m sure. Or if they didn’t want to actively extradite them then I’m sure they wouldn’t dream of doing anything to prevent the court from prosecuting an American legally arrested abroad. /s
Look up The Hague invasion act people. It really means that you can’t take anything the US says on trying war criminals seriously, they are painfully hypocritical. And it’s a shame because if they weren’t hypocritical in this way then they would have a stronger platform to call out foreign war criminals.
Fuck Kissinger in particular he should be the first US war criminal extradited. >

Hypocrisy aside, the claim of contributing to war crimes by selling could be prosecuted is nonsense. 
Like if we all lived in. Buddhist utopian paradise world, then sure I would love to see that charge be made. But not only do we not, there is an entire industry specifically for producing and selling weapons of war. And guess what they kill people. And again the US is one of the biggest arms dealers + also arming at least two nations currently participating in genocide... 
Are we really saying Iran includes specific instructions for Russia to do War Crimes?
If the conversation was "hey Iran be more cautious of what your arms sales get used for" then sure that's a conversation to have. But this ain't it. This just adding to the list of reasons the US "can't deal" with Iran because clearly they are the baddest of the bad that ever badded no takesy-backsys. >

I mean, Iranian drone instructors were apparently training Russians and actively advising them in the use of said drones. They are at least partly culpable. >

You saying Russians were not trained how to correctly identify targets, is that your claim? >

not surprised as russia and iran are in bed together. >

I don't really see the point of countries accusing other countries of potential war crimes when literally no country is ever held to account for their actual war crimes.  It's pointless posturing. >

It's standard manufacturing of consent.  The US has already surrounded Iran with military bases over the years.  There are lots of messed up countries out there but very little news coverage.  All the horrible things Iran is doing to its own citizens lately is all over media.  It's not fake but it's focused. >

It's propaganda. They're not lying, but the fact that it's constantly about Iran seems to be a policy. >

A bit rich from the US but it's 100% true. >

Its sort of hillarious when we (US) have armed so much of the world and we show no slowdown of selling weapons and weapon systems.
War is literally our business >

"May"?
Fuck the terrorist regime.

oh so the US thinks selling arms contributes to war crimes. Lmao what? >

Gulf war 42 electric bugaloo. 
Coming spring '24. >

So pure and innocent. Iran must be the world's largest arms exporter. >

Now you are equating Iran with the US? >

No the US is way more guilty >

This is like Coca Cola saying Pepsi is causing plastic pollution >

And did you know that Fanta was the Nazi response to the removal of selling Coca Cola of Germany! >

The US has been contributing to the war crimes for the last 100 years. >

Not really a new thing for the Islamic Republic… >

Could say the same about the american evangelical Republic >

Could say the same about the american e̶v̶a̶n̶g̶e̶l̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ republic >

Selling weapons is fine, just make sure they aren't being used against white people. >

If Iran denies they are sending drones then I'm sure they won't mind if Ukraine hands a disabled captured drone over to Israel for study. >

I’m not sure there is a lot to study.  Just older tech that Iran stole. >

From a country that tortures and executes it's own citizens for wanting to not wear a headscarf, i'm unsure how this tops that.  At the end of the day, their depravity knows few ends. >

Someone mentioned above, manufactured consent.
The reality is, no one wants a war with Iran except the people who profit off of war. So far, the publicized killing and torturing their own people has not been enough to make people stomach another war after the fiascos in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria.
The UK last week decided to designate a branch of the Iranian military as a terrorist organization. Now they are commiting war crimes. The news has been reporting constantly on the protests, as they should, but the reporting is directed.
Adding in crimes in Ukraine is their last card  If you look at the media, there seems to be universal support for Ukraine. Who will argue that countries who attack the sovereignty of Ukraine must be stopped?
There will be a war with Iran. We will be told that Iran has left the world with no other choice. It will be a case of the UK leading the way while the US leads from behind. We will be told we are saving the women of Iran while we destroy their country to enrich a few.
It is not that I support Iran. I just see more war coming and war is an ugly thing. >

It takes one to know one. >

USA is saying that(: what a bunch of hypocrites >

The US is pretty tone deaf, but two wrongs definitely don't make a right, fuck the Iranian government. >

ironic since the US is profiting from the war >

How is giving away billions profiting exactly? >

The people who actually own this country, i.e. the Military Industrial Complex, are the ones profiting >

Bit rich of the US to have a problem this when they literally let the CIA install the current regime in Iran... >

We get it "iran bad". No need to put out empty statements like this. It's like the US has a hate boner for Iran trying to find excuses to invade >

Iraq has weapons of mass destruction >

Right?  Can you just imagine if the world came together for Iraq like it did for Ukraine?  Embarrassing time to be Iraqi for sure. >

Double standard, deja-vu, hypocrisy, call it the way you want, but just like UK, Italy, Poland, Spain and many more countries contributed to war crimes, led by US during Iraq invasion in ‘03, which went against UN charter point of view as the war being totally illegal. >

“May be” >

What about the actual people invading another country, do something about that first. >

Fuck Iran. Fuck Russia. Kill the dictators. Reclaim your countries. >

Reclaim it for ... umm... who? For a few rich billionaires so that masses can slave their lives away and always be one medical emergency away from poverty. >

They are. The same way the US is contributing to warcrimes by selling to the Saudis.
This isn't a justification of any party such as Iran or to say the US should stop supporting Ukraine, before anyone thinks that's my point. It's to merely to point out that the same could be said about the US (and 'most' countries tbh) in certain scenarios. 
Slava Ukraini >

What? Iran? Crimes against humanity? I do not believe it. /s >

I thought this was already common knowledge, but I'm glad the US is continuing to shine a light on the issue. 
It's kind of sad that Russia, a country that went to the moon, is reduced to buying lawn mower drones from Iran. I guess it's a good thing for Ukraine that Russia seems to be putting all their money into online trolling instead of effective weapons. >

It means democracy may be knocking soon on the doors of Iran.. >

Hopefully it happens through better means than the US' version of bringing it to countries. >

The US will lead from behind in this one. >

Guess we better throw another $100 billion of US weapons at the problem. >

Well spent money.. just the intel from this war is worth a lot of money for U.S. and western defense. Basically this is the way wars will be fought and finding economically efficient solutions to these drones requires trial and error. >

the US just looking for reasons to start another war
