@anjalikdayal.bsky.social

it I had to cite a key moment from Trump's speech, it would be this one. it is a threat not just to the Iranian government but to the Iranian people, and in that sense it contravenes both the international laws prohibiting war and the international humanitarian law that protects civilians

On Iran, Trump asks, "Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival" for future generations? A reminder: he is addressing the United Nations, whose charge is to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.
