After strikes on oil facilities, the World Health Organization is warning that "black rain" poses a respiratory health risk in Iran.
"The black rain and the acidic rain coming with it is indeed a danger for the population," a WHO spokesperson said.
Israel's military campaign in Lebanon is illegal because it is unnecessary.
It is unnecessary because Israel has a reasonable alternative.
That reasonable alternative is for Israel to end its unlawful act of aggression against Iran.

In the first weeks of RSF’s siege on El Fasher, RSF razed 41 predominantly Zaghawa farming villages. Months later most of these villages were depopulated and unable to plant and grow food that would sustain themselves and El Fasher. #KeepEyesOnSudan

I spoke with @ichotiner.bsky.social about how the U.S. and Israel are waging the war in Iran, how the Trump Administration has dismantled the architecture meant to protect civilians during war, and whether we are headed for a new kind of lawlessness.

Urgent to keep the attention of policymakers on Sudan, even amid competing crisis. Strong work like this helps so much. Thank you @hrl-yalesph.bsky.social @oonahathaway.bsky.social @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
When the US or Israel blatantly violate int law for their own gain we mustn't mistake it for an effort to reform an imperfect system of laws.
Thanks @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social & @bechamilton.bsky.social for saying this with clarity and integrity.

Great post by @bechamilton.bsky.social @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social
In particular: "the failure of key...States to condemn the strikes on Iran is extremely alarming for the health of the international legal order."
Time for the Netherlands to step up and protect international law and own security.
🙏
This is a powerful piece and defense of the international rule of law at a time when it seems like it is crumbling around us.
By @bechamilton.bsky.social & @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social.
Highly recommend.

Democrats must use all leverage possible to try to stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.
We're demanding public hearings.
And will continue to force votes on the Senate floor. 🧵
It was a pleasure to collaborate with @tomdannenbaum.bsky.social on this regarding the attack on Iran: Aggression, Plain and Simple www.justsecurity.org/133417/aggre...
"...t is difficult to see past the conclusion that their argument boils down to a single and disturbing outcome: that “tacit support given by many Western States” can, in essence, legitimate aggression."
