Reporter: Did the Trump administration commit a war crime? There were already bipartisan questions about the legal justification for using deadly force against these drug boats. Now you have the second issue, that the first strike killed a number of those on board, and US forces carried out a second strike to kill the survivors. The law of war is you do not kill the wounded or the survivors of a strike, and you have some obligation to give them medical care

Pete Hegseth allegedly ordering a restrike on men clinging to burning wreckage isn’t “tough leadership,” it’s the textbook definition of a potential war crime under the laws of armed conflict. And now the White House is refusing to comment on the reports that Hegseth gave the order to target “survivors who were clinging onto wreckage.”

If the United States is at war, then Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. If the United States is not at war, then Pete Hegseth is a murderer. What Pete Hegseth ordered the military to do violates international law. Double tap strike on the B1 bridge in Iran while the rescue team were on-site is succession to target first responders assisting victims of the initial attack. Under the Geneva Conventions, you are obligated to rescue victims of the first attack. Abandoned any survivors and bombing them along with rescue teams is illegal, immoral, and a war crime.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 SEN. DUCKWORTH ON VENEZUELA STRIKES: "THE WHOLE OPERATION IS ILLEGAL" While War Sec. Hegseth defends the recent U.S. military-style operation in the Caribbean and compares it to fighting terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan, insisting the mission was fully legal, professional, and nothing like the “cowboy” image people think it is, Senator Tammy Duckworth doesn’t hold back. She says Congress never authorized anything like this, calls the operation illegal under U.S. law and international law, and says the strike that killed survivors in the water was, in her words, murder. "There was a vote in Congress to go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, there was no such vote here. Everything they’ve done is illegal. It’s illegal under international law, the Geneva Convention, and even under domestic law. That double-tap strike was essentially murder. Under the laws of war, if a pilot is in the water, you are supposed to render aid, you are not allowed to go back and kill them. The whole operation is illegal to begin with." Source: Eric Daugherty

🇺🇸 ADMIRAL BRADLEY TO TESTIFY UNDER OATH ON BOAT STRIKE THAT KILLED SURVIVORS Admiral Frank Bradley will appear before the Senate Armed Services Committee to answer for the controversial September strike that killed three civilians, including a Colombian father and son, on a suspected drug boat off Venezuela. The second strike is drawing the sharpest scrutiny. It was reportedly launched against survivors after they abandoned the vessel, a move now under formal human rights investigation and potentially in violation of the Geneva Conventions. Trump and War Secretary Hegseth claim they approved only the initial operation and were unaware of the follow-up strike. The victims' family has filed a case with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. International watchdogs are demanding answers. Bradley will be the first senior official to testify under oath over what may be one of the most legally fraught U.S. military actions in Latin America in decades. Source: CBS

🔴 BREAKING: WH Confirms Second Strike on “Drug Boat” Was Deliberate The Pete Hegseth-led U.S. counter-narcotics campaign in the Caribbean and Pacific, Operation Southern Spear, included a strike on a boat on September 2, 2025, alleged to be smuggling drugs. According to The Washington Post, the initial strike left survivors clinging to the wreckage. The White House has now confirmed that a second, targeted strike was carried out on the boat, ordered by Admiral Frank M. Bradley, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command. That second strike, per the Post’s reporting, killed the remaining crew. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Bradley’s decision, saying he acted “well within his authority and the law… to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States was eliminated.”

BREAKING: CNN reports that the U.S. military is holding two survivors aboard a Navy ship after a Thursday strike on an alleged “drug boat” in the Caribbean. It's the sixth such strike under Trump’s operation, but the first where anyone lived. The attack hasn’t been publicly acknowledged by the White House, and officials say it’s unclear what will happen to the survivors now in U.S. custody. Legally, the U.S. can’t just hold them indefinitely at sea. International law, including the Geneva Conventions and maritime law. These require that detainees be given a clear legal status: 1) either turned over to law enforcement and charged under the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act,or 2) repatriated to their home country if no charges are filed. If these survivors are neither charged nor released soon, the U.S. risks violating both international human rights law and its own due process obligations.

🚨 ON THE GROUND: SCOTT RITTER - “THE U.S. CARRIED OUT AN ILLEGAL ACT OF AGGRESSION” Scott Ritter: "The United States, in violation of international law... carried out an attack against Iran, a sovereign state. There is no cognizable justification under international law for the American strike. The United States hasn't even tried to make such an effort. And you expect Iran... to just sit there and take it? So Iran is doing what it promised to do."

There’s a lot to unpack here… Bombing vessels in the Caribbean without congressional authorization is already an unconstitutional use of military force. Pete Hegseth’s double tap on survivors looks like a war crime, and both Armed Services Committees want him in the chair to answer for it. Senate Republicans confirmed a sociopath as Defense Secretary, so this is on them too.

U.S. forces struck a suspected narco-smuggling boat off the coast of Venezuela on September 2, killing all on board, including two survivors who were seen in the water after an initial missile hit, according to a Washington Post investigation. The operation targeted members of the Tren de Aragua gang as part of a wider Trump administration counter-narcotics campaign that has destroyed more than 22 suspected drug vessels this year. The Post reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had issued a verbal directive that suggested no survivors should remain and watched the strike live. The Pentagon denies any unlawful order and says the mission complied with U.S. and international law. President Trump has publicly backed Hegseth, saying he believes his account. Lawmakers from both parties say killing incapacitated survivors could violate the laws of armed conflict, and congressional committees have opened oversight inquiries and requested briefings. The White House acknowledges a second strike occurred but says the commander on the scene acted within his legal authority and in self-defense. Administration officials argue the broader campaign is aimed at stopping fentanyl networks blamed for high U.S. overdose deaths. Venezuela has condemned the strikes as “piracy.” U.S. officials say the incident remains under review.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed on Monday that there was a follow-up strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean earlier this year, but denies that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave the order. The Washington Post reported Friday that Hegseth gave a verbal order to leave no survivors in the first U.S. strike, and after it left two survivors in the water, the commander of the operation, Adm. Frank Bradley, ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's directive, killing the survivors. When asked if Hegseth's original order for the Sept. 2 strike was that everyone be killed and whether that directive came from President Trump, Leavitt told CBS News’ Weijia Jiang, "I saw that quoted in a Washington Post story. I would reject that the secretary of war ever said that.” CBS News has not independently confirmed the Washington Post's reporting.

🚨OH GIVE ME A BREAK: Pete Hegseth says he watched the first strike on the boat LIVE and conveniently left for a meeting during the second strike. So we’re supposed to believe he was glued to the screen for the initial bombing, but the moment survivors were clinging to debris - the moment the decision to strike again was made - he just wandered off to a meeting? So then which is it? Does Hegseth need to be tried for War Crimes or just FIRED for dereliction of duty?

🚨 HOLY SHIT: Karoline Leavitt just tried to deflect blame for the second Caribbean strike and in the process threw Admiral Frank Bradley directly under the bus. She didn’t deny the strike. She didn’t deny the survivors were hit again. She didn’t deny the order. That silence is the tell. This means Trump, Hegseth, and Bradley are now implicated in what military law treats as murder, a clear-cut war crime if the reports are accurate. A stunning, accidental admission from inside the White House.

CNN contributor and former military lawyer Margaret Donovan says both Pete Hegseth and Admiral Bradley are complicit in war crimes after double strike on Venezuelan drug boats. “This is so basic to everybody who has served in the military and who has trained on the law of war and the law of armed conflict that it is a war crime, that it's no surprise that the administration will be trying to shift the blame…If the facts really have played out the way that it is being reported, he absolutely had a duty not to follow an unlawful order if it was Secretary Hegseth's order.” It’s as if they want Pete Hegseth to be guilty.

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Brit Hume on Trump administration defending strikes on suspected drug boat: “It all comes down to what the intention was of the second strike: was it to demolish the rest of the boat that had been hit but had not been completely destroyed or was it the principal purpose of eliminating the survivors?” “Eliminating the survivors would be a big problem if that’s what it was all about. That’s what we’ll see investigated in the weeks ahead..” “Then there’s the question of whether Pete Hegseth really said ‘kill them all’ or whether he never said that and the order for a second strike was given by an admiral in charge of the missions. Those are fact patterns that will need to be established.” “Democrats are pouncing and with the long knives out the way they are for anybody in the Trump administration you’ve got to wait for the facts to come in to make a judgment.”
