Joe Biden ‘discussing’ possible Israeli strikes on Iran oil facilities; IDF says it has killed a Hezbollah commander – Middle East crisis live
Casually discussing committing war crimes... civilian energy infrastructure is not a valid military target.
Oil facilities can be legitimate targets, if they're producing fuels, other petroleum products, or generating electricity, for military purposes. I don't know which facilities are being discussed here, or whether those facilities are primarily military or civilian.
Pretty sure their military uses electricity and water, too, so that means their electrical grid and water supply are fair game, right?
If they're shared by civilian infrastructure then they're probably using it as a shield, so that means it's OK to hit them anyway
For some people, "war crimes" isn't a legal theory, but a moral outrage. In this case, they've painted themselves into a corner because Joe Biden is already fully responsible for genocide, so adjudicating a few war crimes seems petty and irrelevant.
Never mind that a conflict in the same time-zone as Israel, energy infrastructure is a primary target for both sides.
