A reminder that any attack on Iran would be in violation of international law.
Nicaragua Case II Electric Boogaloo.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Could’ve been a drone.
And they could've been removing drone-fragments from a dud that went *thump* and became one with the ship's hull.
As for international law issues... America has been at this game for awhile... it even wrote the rules as to what constitutes the difference between a pre-emptive strike and self-defense.... Back in 1836.
Iran didn't exist as a country back in 1836.

Yeah, the Caroline Dictum. “The necessity of self-defense was instant, overwhelming, leaving no choice of means, and no moment of deliberation”
This is not self defence anymore. Even so, Iran was there when article 51 of the UN Charter was signed. Not that that somehow matters, so I fail to see what you are trying to say.
(And an independent Persia did exist in 1836)

I'm fairly sure his point was that since Iran was not around in 1836 (or so he mistakenly thought) that international law would somehow not apply. I'm also fairly sure that he'd be wrong there.

In the same sense that a Capitalist Russia existed in 1891.
-But then 1917 came along on a train and said hello.
Using Persian empire = Iran means Libya, Egypt, and Turkey = Iran
Not exactly the same country... if you're talking about the dirt itself... a people usually doesn't consider dirt and sand alone as a valid form of government.
(and by that metric, America would still technically be just as old as Iran if all we need is a location of dirt and living bodies)
If refering to the people in charge of governing the Persian Empire, the Shah was forced into exile some long time ago. A lot of the treaties signed by the Shahs were torn-up or ignored in the process.
Anyways... the point is... Iran didn't make the rules, they simply agreed to them (sometimes).

Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people long before they get to our Southern Border. Guatemala is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement. The only ones who won’t do anything are the Democrats in Congress. They must vote to get rid of the loopholes, and fix asylum! If so, Border Crisis will end quickly!

The agreement between Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican, and Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the top Democrat on the panel, includes $2.88 billion for the Department of Health and Human Services to be directed to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which administration officials warned lawmakers would run out of money by the end of this month without the emergency cash infusion.
