Oh no! ...anyway... Seriously bros, this is a war where one side is making wildly inflammatory, specific and credible threats against the civilian infrastructure of the other and this is a response to that, hardly even a response in kind. If they strike these assets it will cause financial burden for rich people, not plunge millions of civilians into darkness as the POTUS is credibly threatening to do. Iranian attack…

Iran has threatened to destroy water supplies in the Gulf states, which would kill huge numbers of people.

Wasn’t that in response to Trump posting that he’d hit theirs? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-hegseth-and... > In a Truth Social post on March 30, Trump warned that the U.S. would obliterate "all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet 'touched.'"

It follows Trumps threats to destroy power plants, but predates the threat you quote. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/22/iran-says-dest... AFAIK there is no exemption that says it is OK to commit war crimes if the other side does. If attacking power plants and oil production is a war crime, then Russia, Ukraine, and many other countries are guilty of it.

After America attacked them, sure, and in any case they aren't even attacking America, so again, why is America involved?

Because Iran attacks them relentlessly by proxxy? Hoothis, Hezbullah, Hamas, etc. It also wars with the kurds and had some fun in afghanistan? Iran is not passive - iran is active, a wannabe us (lets call it micro-satan) - that wants to do what russia did along its borders.
