🇺🇸 🇺🇳 Washington walked out of the UN Human Rights Council one day after its experts accused America of war crimes in Iran The State Department cited bias against Israel, hypocrisy, and the council's support for terror regimes like Iran, an argument with real history behind it given who has held those seats. The same announcement reaffirmed financial pressure on Tehran, with Treasury sanctioning the crypto platform Bit Bank over hundreds of millions in bitcoin allegedly moved to the Revolutionary Guard. Trump says the war has hit a critical turning point with all options on the table. Yesterday a UN-commissioned panel found reasonable grounds to believe two American strikes killing at least 178 civilians, including at a school in Minab, amounted to war crimes. Here is the cost. For decades the case for American leadership rested on a line between the countries that answer for their conduct and the ones that walk out. Iran has spent 40 years on the wrong side of that line. Now the same UN file holds accusations against both, Washington's response mirrors Tehran's, and every capital deciding whether to follow American leadership or Chinese money just had a tough decision made easier.
