Trump and Netanyahu's Unlawful Assault on Iran: A Dangerous Escalation
Experts condemn Trump and Netanyahu's military attack on Iran as an illegal act of aggression, drawing parallels to Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Kagame's attack on the DRC.
In a clear violation of international law, former US President Donald Trump and former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have launched a military attack on Iran, an act that experts have decried as an illegal act of aggression. Their actions, which bear an uncanny resemblance to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Paul Kagame's incursion into the Democratic Republic of Congo, have drawn widespread condemnation from the international community.
The United Nations Charter unequivocally states that the use of military force is only permissible with the authorization of the UN Security Council or in cases of self-defense from an actual or imminent armed attack. In the case of Trump and Netanyahu's attack on Iran, neither of these criteria were met, rendering their actions a clear violation of international law.
