Officials in New Delhi say that an Iranian warship that was sunk by a U.S. submarine near Sri Lanka had participated in naval exercises hosted by India before heading out into international waters in the Indian Ocean on its way home.
… Because they were in international waters, not engaged in any combat activity, unarmed, and also the US hadn’t, and still hasn’t, actually declared war against them.
And we, the US, made no effort to help the survivors, which is actually required by international law.
I don’t think these make this a war crime but I’m not an expert, can you show me an article describing or explaining it as such.
Like I’m not interested in whether it was right or moral (it wasn’t) but as far as I can tell it wasn’t a war crime.
Why do you think it’s a war crime?

Ok.
You’re wrong, by the way.
And no, you don’t need an article, wikipedia should suffice.
If you gave even half of a shit about this, and possess a brain that can write a high school book report, you could figure this out on your own.
i think this forum got the worst people from reddit
Because someone called out a war crime?
I’m honestly appalled by the number of comments here that are defending this evil, cowardly attack.
But I want Lemmy to be more like Reddit. /S
