The war revived Iran, which was reeling from strikes on its nuclear sites, the fall of Assad, the weakening of proxies, & the eco effects of sanctions & mismanagement. History will be brutal in its assessment of US & Israeli policy. open.substack.com/pub/richardhaa
To be just, a war must be fought for a worthy cause, judged as likely to succeed, authorized by a legitimate authority, and undertaken only as a last resort. Just wars must be conducted in a manner that uses no more military force than is necessary (the proportionality standard) and respects the safety of noncombatants.
