Military Experts: Power Infrastructure Targetable Under Specific Legal Conditions In the context of the escalating Iran-US-Israel conflict, military experts have clarified that power infrastructure can be lawfully targeted under international humanitarian law if it meets strict criteria. Specifically, such targets qualify only if they make a direct contribution to military action and if the anticipated military advantage outweighs potential civilian harm. The Wall Street Journal live coverage highlights this amid reports of strikes on energy facilities, oil refineries, and grids in the Middle East. Recent developments include Israel hitting oil facilities in Tehran, causing massive explosions, while Iran has threatened retaliation against regional power plants and desalination facilities. U.S. officials urged Israel to halt strikes on Iranian oil infrastructure without approval, reflecting concerns over escalation and economic fallout. Amnesty International warned all parties—Israel, the U.S., and Iran—to avoid unlawful attacks on energy infrastructure due to risks of disproportionate civilian casualties, toxic releases, and environmental damage. Legal scholars emphasize that even qualifying military objectives require feasible precautions to minimize collateral damage. Iranian leaders, including parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, vowed irreversible destruction of enemy infrastructure if their power plants are hit. This legal analysis comes as the war enters its fourth week, with attacks expanding to civilian-linked sites like airports, hotels, and data centers. The U.S. has braced for cyberattacks on its critical networks, while Gulf states face threats to their energy security. These developments underscore the fragile balance between military necessity and humanitarian protections in modern warfare.

Even if team Trump wanted it, a military draft would be a fiasco The option of conscripting Americans for military service in Iran may be 'on the table' but it won't work. Here's why.

A very important piece by @ehasbrouck about the folly of Trump even contemplating the use of military conscription for the US war against Iran.

Retired US Army paratrooper here. Not a legal expert but, I believe US service members could refuse to follow an order to invade/occupy Greenland under the UCMJ.
Greenland is part of NATO. The "T" means treaty. Treaty = law. It is against the law to attack a fellow member. #MilitaryLaw helpers?

You don’t “take” oil. It takes years of infrastructure and occupation. Saying otherwise masks long term extraction by force. Pair that with signaling that unlawful military orders are acceptable, and yes, internationally, restraint becomes optional. #Venezuela #ForeignPolicy #MilitaryLaw #NATO
