When the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, they framed it as a matter of security. But the fallout is being felt far beyond the Middle East. From Pakistan to the Philippines to Sub-Saharan Africa, energy prices are surging, currencies are falling, and food systems are breaking down. This is not just an oil crisis.

There are three principles of international humanitarian law that were established after the most devastating conflicts in modern history. The protection of civilians. The protection of schools and hospitals. And the avoidance of cultural heritage destruction. These laws were written by people who had witnessed the worst of war and decided that certain lines should never be crossed. In this video, former RCMP officer and lawyer Michael breaks down when and why each principle was established, the legal weight they carry, and why they matter right now. As the conflict between Israel, the United States, and Iran continues to escalate, he asks a simple question. Have any of these laws been broken? The evidence is there. The legal framework is clear. Now it’s up to you to decide what you’re seeing.
