An Israeli airstrike hit here in Lebanon. This is what remains. Homes destroyed. Lives shattered. Civilians are not a target. They must be protected.

Even wars have rules. The Geneva Conventions protect civilians in conflict and help ensure assistance reaches those in need, without discrimination. ohchr.org/en/instruments…

@MarkJCarney and @AnitaAnandMP any word on Trump’s genocidal threat against #Iran?

Trump has been openly threatening—and likely committing—war crimes in Iran for weeks. But this is different. It is a bare threat of genocide that should be understood as triggering third states’ duty to prevent genocide. Leaders like @MarkJCarney are legally obligated to respond.

This meets the threshold for intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national group as set forth in 18 US Code § 1091 prohibiting the crime of genocide. If any Iranians are killed pursuant to this threat, President Trump will be guilty of genocide, as will those assisting him.

"A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Whether this is raving lunacy, deliberate hyperbole, depraved strategy or unabashed criminality, this is beyond war crimes and crimes against humanity. It is, essentially, a threat to commit genocide. @MarkJCarney & @AnitaAnandMP, Canada must react. And must push every world leader to do so as well. We do not know whether these will remain chilling words or are a terrifying harbinger of what may be or even is to come. Neither can be allowed to stand. This is not about taking the world as it is. This is about standing up for the most basic principles of humanity. #block-69d4f5358f087f6d3658e650" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/world/live/202…

President Trump threatens not just war crimes but also what sounds like genocide, saying that in Iran "a whole civilization will die tonight." This is obviously morally repugnant and also raises alarms about the mental stability of a man who controls nuclear weapons.

I join the @iaeaorg in raising the alarm again over the safety of nuclear facilities in #Iran. The latest incident involving the Bushehr nuclear power plant is a stark reminder: a strike could trigger a nuclear accident, with health impacts that would devastate generations. With every passing day of this escalating conflict, the stakes and threats are raised higher and higher. We must de-escalate now. Peace is the best medicine.

💢 Videos verified by France 24 show missiles being launched from Kuwaiti territory into Iran, directly challenging Kuwait’s claim it has not allowed its land to be used for attacks. ➤ At least 13 missiles were filmed firing on March 24 from near Abdali in northern Kuwait, with a second barrage recorded March 31–April 1 from the same area. ➤ Analysis of footage, including camera angles and sound delays, places the launch site inside Kuwait near oil installations, roughly 55 km from Camp Buehring, a major U.S. base. ➤ Weapons experts say the launches are consistent with U.S.-made GMLRS rockets fired from HIMARS systems — which the Kuwaiti military does not operate but U.S. forces do. ➤ Matching explosions were filmed the same day in Shalamcheh, Iran, about 60 km away, with timing consistent with the launches. ➤ Satellite imagery later showed damage to warehouses at the impact site inside Iran. Iran has struck Kuwait repeatedly over the past 48 hours, hitting oil, petrochemical, power, and government infrastructure, including buildings housing Kuwait’s national oil and petroleum operations.

American-Israeli attack on the Pasteur Institute in Tehran, a century-old health research center and a member of the international Pasteur network. Since 1920, this institute has been one of the pioneers and major hubs of vaccine production in the region.

Over 100 international lawyers (including me) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the UN Charter and may be war crimes.

More than 1,000 international law experts (myself included) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the U.N. Charter (no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat that could justify a self-defense claim) and may be war crimes (attacks on civilian sites). trib.al/lyTCOJB

More than 115,000 civilian units have been damaged during the airstrikes on Iran so far, according to Pir Hossein Kolivand, President of the Iranian Red Crescent Society. “Of these, 44,391 units are located in Tehran, which demonstrates the high extent of the attacks on the capital,” Kolivand added.

"The U.S. military’s decision to move troops away from bases under Iranian attack to hotels and office spaces in civilian areas may amount to violations of international humanitarian law and the U.S. military’s own laws of war." nytimes.com/2026/04/01/us/…

First sanctions denied Iranians access to medicine and pharmaceuticals and now targeted bombing is denying them to produce their own. The war is increasingly waged on the people.

BREAKING: Iran says a US‑Israeli strike hit Tofigh Daru in Tehran, destroying a key supplier of raw materials for hospital, surgical, and some cancer drugs, calling it “a significant blow to the national medical supply chain.” 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/ej122r

Greece is preparing for possible Iranian attacks, with its merchant navy holding drills after a drone strike. While Gulf tankers remain potential targets, the only strike on European soil so far hit a British airbase in Cyprus. Al Jazeera's John Psaropoulos reports.
