Absolute insanity. Hegseth literally shut down the units that screen targets to protect civilians. 50 percent of the US strikes in Iran were illegal under international law, hitting hospitals and schools. This is a war of cultural genocide.

It angers me when I hear commentators say, "It was a mistake." Is a "mistake" when a drunk driver runs into a school bus killing all the children? And that's a generous analogy. Everyone should listen to Ritter on this. Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth is a war criminal.

💯

No accident. Pure IDF style.

On February 28, 2026, a U.S. Tomahawk cruise missile — a weapon confirmed by multiple munitions experts to be held exclusively by the U.S. Navy, not Iran, not Israel — struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, on the first day of the war. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC compound since 2016 and had operated as a clearly defined civilian institution for over a decade. 175 people were killed — at least 108 of them children, the rest parents and teachers who had rushed to the school after the first strike. The principal moved surviving students to a prayer room and called parents to collect their children. A second missile hit that room. Parents identified their daughters by the gold bracelets on severed limbs. This did not happen in a vacuum. Hegseth had already cut the Pentagon’s civilian casualty team for the entire Middle East from 10 people to one, gutted the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence by 90%, and stopped the updating of no-strike lists entirely — all in pursuit of his stated goal of “maximum lethality” with “no more politically correct rules of engagement.” When asked if the U.S. was responsible, Hegseth said only “we’re investigating” while simultaneously insisting “the only side that targets civilians is Iran.” Human Rights Watch has called for the strike to be investigated as a war crime. A double-tap strike on a school full of little girls, carried out with a precision weapon, after every safeguard against it was deliberately dismantled, is not a mistake, for god’s sake. It is a policy of intentional murder and maximum kills. And “we’re investigating” is not accountability — it is a delay tactic from people counting on the news cycle to do their cover-up for them. Is Hegseth going to be held responsible for these crimes? No. Why? The Democrats are lame ducks — anything they demand is only performative. Republicans have almost unanimously backed Trump’s Iran strategy. Critically, the only realistic paths to genuine accountability — a special counsel, impeachment, or ICC prosecution — are all blocked by the same architecture Hegseth built before the war started — the JAGs, the inspectors general, the civilian protection offices - all removed by him. He didn’t just create the conditions for this massacre. He eliminated the referees first. That is deliberate. That is architecture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So, for the immediate term, all this visibility seems like an exercise in futility but building the paper trail matters enormously. It is what honest people build when power forecloses on every other option. And because history has a longer memory than a news cycle.

ALL the air strikes & this whole war is illegal.

There needs to be a war crimes tribunal after the war ends if that is the case…

@LogicalImaan The reward for Americans because of Trump's support for war criminals will be

The war is illegal, so every single bomb that falls is illegal.

Just like what Israel has been doing to Gaza all these years.

You know what they say, "if a psycho is in power, those who elected him/her are well represented" Trump and other war criminals represent a psychopathic society, that keeps happily paying to massacre others Just like that. Let that thought sink in They are a just a symptom.

That guy is nuts

Convicted pedophile Scott Ritter 😂

@NetworksManager

The Gulf States must now be motivated to have US bases on their territory closed.

Scott Ritter is not credible and if you believe otherwise you are neither. He is a convicted pedophile and a Russia sympathizer.

@aishamusic Is it possible to take out an enemy in which human shields are so frequently used? How exactly do you respond to aggression when most of the positions from which Hamas or Hezbollah attack are also schools, hospitals, and Mosques?

The #USGovernment is completely illegitimate.

Ritter...

In a war -- which is a crime -- 100% of everything is illegal. Read the UN Charter. Think deeply.

#IsraelIsATerroristState #DismantleZionism

@DrNancyOlivieri When is this administration held accountable. I honestly pray each night that we will wake up to see Trump & this administration removed and arrested.

Relying on a convicted sexual predator and known paid Russian propagandist does not bode well for your credibility. I've heard him lie and be wrong so many times in the past that I had him on mute. I just won't listen to his Russian propaganda and misinformation any more.

... just a pattern. You just forgot that.

if scott ritter is your source you are pretty much irrelevant.

@3boymama3 During Ramadan by no coincidence

@elevate67 Of course. Its what jews and zionists always do

@grok validate this claim abt Hegseth doing this, give sources

Whenever your genocidal armies get fucked up in their country of origin after picking a fight its a “genocide”.

@PrezLives2022 🤬

@GaryGHoward1 Now do the legality of the IRGC slaughtering 30,000 Iranian protestors.

👍🤮🤮

Gee like Gaza?
