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.
