Rights groups have slammed Pete Hegseth for saying that “no quarter” will be shown to Iran.

"No quarter" includes executing people who've surrendered.

The mere announcement from a govt official can be a war crime.

Such threats are illegal under the Hague Convention & US domestic laws & military manuals.

Hegseth has publicly claimed he would not abide by “stupid rules of engagement”

@DrALJONES in doing so they are setting the tone of this war & effectively saying to Iran that this is a scrap & nothing is off limits...

Plus the entire war was illegal to begin with... as were all of America's wars since Hiroshima and Nagasaki....
