In reply to the discussion: Iranian warship sunk by the US was sailing home after taking part in an exhibition hosted by India [View all]ColoringFool
(562 posts)82. Like Pearl Harbor was "just regular warfare"? WE ILLEGALLY BOMBED IRAN.....
What about INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES do you not get??
Iran was not a belligerent, not a combatant, not a declared war enemy.....
It was, in fact, a sovereign nation as Iraq was when we ILLEGALLY ATTACKED her.

I suggest not murdering to cover up the Epstein files. Blowing that ship up is a piece of shit move

Letting it get in range of a US Carrier Group to use its anti-ship cruise missiles would have been a worse idea

Noted Iranian propagandist Mark Hertling, who knows more than you do, seems concerned about overall munitions stock.

What ever happened to warning shots across the bow? This seems needlessly vicious. No help to the survivors either

I'm hearing it was unarmed, having participated in joint exercises requiring ships to be unarmed

We are being told by our government that this is actually not a war. This was a terrorist act by the US

So if the Iranian warship got in range and fired her missiles at US ship also a terrorist act?

For everyone's information - the ship that was sunk was not on its way back to Iran, or "the carrier group"

It had been just outside their maritime zone for days. It wasn't going anywhere.
