Times of Israel: "Israel begins preemptive strike against Iran, defense minister says". It is illegal under international law even if one applies generous doctrine of "anticipatory self-defense". Such action only permitted against instant & overwhelming threat.

"In Washington, a U.S. official said no American airplanes were involved in the strikes."

For far too many, the International Criminal Court is the only hope for justice and accountability. Victims and survivors of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes deserve justice, and the US government should not be impeding their fight. 4/4

If you care for a status update on *the* question - will the Trump administration stop complying with the courts - read @annabower.bsky.social entire thread:
Drew Ensign, who has represented the gov in the JGG matter before Judge Boasberg, is here for DOJ.
Judge Xinis begins by explaining why we're here: SCOTUS ruled, and directed the court to clarify its order re: "effectuating" the return of Garcia
