War crimes are no longer shameful. That should terrify you

On February 28, 2026, a school was destroyed in Minab, Iran, resulting in over 170 deaths among children and staff, marking the start of the US-Israeli war. Leaders from the United States, Israel, and Iran display blatant contempt for international laws protecting civilians, while US President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth show little regard for civilian safety. If the international community does not urgently reaffirm support for these norms, it may be complicit in their destruction.
