#Trump’s #Iranian campaign: an #illegal #war that risks becoming the new normal. The #usisraeli military action will test the fragile rules governing the use of force. The killing of #Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, by a US-Israeli strike is a targeted #assassination of a head of state. It also marks a grave escalation in a region already burdened with smouldering wars and fragile states. The consequences of the deliberate strike will reverberate across a #MiddleEast marked by the aftershocks of foreign intervention. Revulsion against the hardline regime in Tehran, or the desire for a better future for the Iranian people, does not confer a legal justification. Force is lawful, under the UN charter, only in self-defence against an imminent attack or with security council approval. Neither condition has been met. There was no evidence of an “instant, overwhelming” Iranian attack being prepared. What Trump’s #OperationEpicFury looks like is not pre-emption but prevention: a decision to eliminate a future risk while an enemy appeared weak. It is a war of choice. Mr Trump’s call to #overthrow a #sovereign government was extraordinary. Unlike pre-emptive wars, preventive ones are deemed #unlawful because they grant the powerful licence to #strikeatwill. The distinction is important; it is why many European governments rejected #Russia’s justification of its invasion of #Ukraine by claiming to head off a future threat. Law cannot be optional for allies and binding only for adversaries. The domestic foundations of Trump’s action are also shaky. There’s little public support in the US for this #attack, and #Congress was not asked to #authorise #hostilities. There will be even less appetite as the #civiliandeath toll mounts and #USsoldiers come home in #bodybags. #uspol #TrumpRegime #RogueNation #auspol https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/mar/01/the-guardian-view-on-trumps-iranian-campaign-an-war-that-risks-becoming-the-new-normal

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Jet Usa si schiantano in Kuwait, il Pentagono: “Incidente di fuoco amico, piloti illesi” Alcune immagini pubblicate sui social mostrano un caccia militare Usa precipitare in Kuwait. Il Pentagono ha fatto sapere che questa mattina “tre F-15E Strike Eagle statunitensi in volo a supporto dell’Operazione Epic Fury sono precipitati a causa di un apparente incidente di fuoco amico“. Il Centcom statunitense sottoline in una nota che “durante il combattimento attivo, che includeva attacchi da parte di aerei iraniani, missili balistici e droni, i caccia dell’Aeronautica Militare statunitense sono stati abbattuti per errore dalle difese aeree kuwaitiane. Tutti e sei i membri dell’equipaggio si sono eiettati in sicurezza, sono stati recuperati in sicurezza e sono in condizioni stabili. Il Kuwait ha riconosciuto l’incidente e ringrazia le forze di difesa kuwaitiane per gli sforzi e il supporto in questa operazione in corso. La causa dell’incidente è in fase di accertamento”. L'articolo Jet Usa si schiantano in Kuwait, il Pentagono: “Incidente di fuoco amico, piloti illesi” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. US jets crash in Kuwait, Pentagon: “Friendly fire incident, pilots unharmed” Some images posted on social media show a U.S. military fighter jet crashing in Kuwait.
