Only read the title so what I say is just the face value is.

Taking out assets that keep people healthy and alive is a long term strategy. It is not about how it affects today tomorrow or next year. This affects the population for years. The data a graphs that come out 10, 15, 30 years from now will show how this effected the people of Iran.

I hope this ends and we,people of America, get stuck with the bill to help rebuild their civilian communities. I don’t want to pay up but if you agree with what is happing or not, it is now America’s responsibility to clean it up.

Hospitals are not legitimate targets for military attacks. Attacking them is by no means a “strategy,” but rather a crime against humanity.

Civilian hospitals organized to give care to the wounded and sick, the infirm and maternity cases, may in no circumstances be the object of attack, but shall at all times be respected and protected by the Parties to the conflict.

Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949 - Article 18 - Protection of civilian hospitals
