Every statement of this tweet is factually false.

The US did and does horrible things, but the attack of this ship was legal: uwa.edu.au/…/us-sank-an-iranian-warship-and-didnt…

It was a cruel and cynical attack, but it adhered to the rules of warfare.

This doesn’t change that Trump is a monster and this war is horrible, but this torpedo attack itself was legal.

US sank an Iranian warship and didn't rescue survivors. Is this legal in war?

The law of naval warfare sets out permissions and protections for combatants, civilians and neutral actors engaged in conflict at sea.

Where in the tweet did he even type the word “illegal”?
