Times of Israel: "Israel begins preemptive strike against Iran, defense minister says". It is illegal under international law even if one applies generous doctrine of "anticipatory self-defense". Such action only permitted against instant & overwhelming threat. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

"In Washington, a U.S. official said no American airplanes were involved in the strikes." Israel's (manned) warplanes are US-supplied. And the use of US-origin warplanes in an illegal attack on Iran implicates the restrictions of the Arms Export Control Act. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

For far too many, the International Criminal Court is the only hope for justice and accountability. Victims and survivors of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes deserve justice, and the US government should not be impeding their fight. 4/4
