Just to be clear — this isn’t about attacking the US as a country. It’s about something much deeper: the principle of the rule of law. The same international standards that the US helped define — and publicly committed to.
If we can’t respect our own rules, if we bend them whenever it’s politically convenient, then why should anyone else take them seriously? Let alone follow them.
This isn’t just about Iran. It’s about whether international law still means anything — or if we’ve already abandoned it and just don’t want to admit it yet.
The brazen air strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities are a reflection on Trump's disdain of international law and norms. As with everything else, he believes that the rules do not apply to him.
