Folks, the US and Israel are doing a lot of things that might be (and probably are) war crimes, but sinking an Iranian warship is not one of them. It doesn't matter if it had ammunition on it or not. It is a commissioned warship of a state party to an international armed conflict, and as such, is a military objective subject to attack by an opposing state party to that conflict. #LOAC

@samlitzinger While the DOJ can exempt them from repercussions under US law, they are still liable in countries or international courts with universal jurisdiction for war crimes. #LOAC

Hello. Retired USAF intelligence officer here.
The F-16 flying unit I was assigned to had to deploy to enforce the no-fly zone over Iraq:

In preparation, the flying squadrons had various informational briefings, exercises, and briefings to commanders to show that they were prepared for the mission.
One of the key questions would be this sort of scenario: You have a radar contact many miles off your nose. It's currently unidentified...we call that a bogey.

You can't shoot a bogey. It has to be positively ID'd as a bandit.
Everybody was expected to know the rules of engagement and ID processes and sources of information.
Getting that wrong in a briefing to the wing commander...was not career ending, but it was not good.
Compare that to the situation today. :-(
