The Guardian view on Trump’s Iranian campaign: an illegal war that risks becoming the new normal
[...]
Force is lawful, under the UN charter, only in self-defence against an imminent attack or with security council approval. Neither condition has been met. There was no evidence of an “instant, overwhelming” Iranian attack being prepared. What Donald Trump’s Operation Epic Fury looks like is not pre-emption but prevention: a decision to eliminate a future risk while an enemy appeared weak. It is a war of choice. Mr Trump’s call to overthrow a sovereign government was extraordinary.

Unlike pre-emptive wars, preventive ones are deemed unlawful because they grant the powerful licence to strike at will. The distinction is important; it is why many European governments rejected Russia’s justification of its invasion of Ukraine by claiming to head off a future threat. Law cannot be optional for allies and binding only for adversaries. [...]

Any politicians, in e.g. the EU, who praise this war of aggression also thereby legitimize that for example Putin might wake up some Monday morning in a bad mood and therefore decide to invade e.g. Poland, using EU politicians' currently praising whimsical war of aggression as legitimization; they are putting you at risk.

The counter-revolutionary military IRGC of the Iran-theocracy also bombed an arbitrary highway at Hewlêr/Erbil in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Very heroic.

The "Morality Police" of Tehran as well as the Gisha Police Station 137 were bombed.

Police are civilian in armed conflicts unless the rulers decide to use the police for military tasks within the armed conflict, which it can strongly argued the Iran-theocracy has chosen to do whereby they made also police valid military targets.

Now also as an article, in English:
"Iran targets camps and headquarters of four Rojhilat [eastern, Iran-held part of Kurdistan] parties [...] in Bashur (South Kurdistan [a.k.a. northern Iraq])"

I have never heard of any "Komel Party", so I guess that is also Komala, but there may also be things I don't know...

"At least 22 people are dead following pro-Iran [government] demonstrations in Pakistan in which hundreds of people marched on the US consulate in Karachi" (see earlier for some videos)

It's not "pro-Iran", it's "pro-Iran government" or similar.
It's not "pro" the extremely numerous murderously oppressed people in Iran, so that phrasing is only valid if one only considers the government to be "Iran" or if one only considers the abstract concept without humanity on paper as "Iran". Do better, the Guardian.

Starmer decided to drastically increase the danger to everyone in the U.K., whom could be associated with the U.K. worldwide and those in MENA-region living somewhat nearby U.K. bases, by joining USA and Israel's absolutely illegal war of aggression in Iran, letting USA use the U.K. bases to bomb "storage depots or the launchers" in Iran, while also claiming that the invading of Iran to attack those is "defensive" and thereby murdered the English language.

All you would have had to do was to either take the matter to the UNSC to get a mandate, or get an invitation from any guerrilla who could be claimed to be territory holder within and in armed conflict against the crimes against humanity Iran-theocracy.
Then it would at least not be "the supreme international crime".

Jerusalem again.

Video: "Israel fires on Lebanese capital Beirut"

"Streams of people began to flee the Beirut suburb of Dahieh by car and by foot, and lines of cars began to form outside petrol stations in the southern city of Tyre as residents began to head northwards. The highways from Dahieh to the capital city were gridlocked with scooters and cars driving over rubble and debris from the earlier strikes.

In the south, people drove northwards on both sides of the highway to escape the traffic."

"Experts have said the attacks by Israel and the US on Iran are illegal, as they were in violation of the ban on the use of force under the UN charter and international law.

Here is an extract from an opinion piece by Kenneth Roth, a Guardian US columnist and former executive director of Human Rights Watch who believes the attacks on Iran were an illegal act of aggression"

"We have a picture showing the moment an apparent fighter jet falls from the sky in Kuwait and someone parachuting to safety" says the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/02/us-israel-war-iran-live-updates-attacks-strikes-tehran-lebanon-beirut-hezbollah-dubai-latest-news?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-69a56c9e8f08e575db5be441#block-69a56c9e8f08e575db5be441 so I decided to forward three videos I had previously skipped.

USA's Central Command (CENTCOM) said "Three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident. [...]"
