Hegseth’s Unorthodox Rhetoric Sparks Concern Over War Crimes in Iran

A recent escalation in language by US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has sent shockwaves among observers, as the US and Israel continue their relentless assault on Iran’s infrastructure. According to Mohamad Elmasry, a media studies expert at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Hegseth’s candid remarks have set a disturbing precedent, with the US official openly dismissing established protocols as “ineffective”.

Elmasry warns that Hegseth’s unapologetic stance sends a clear message that the United States is willing to disregard international norms. The US president’s threats to target civilian infrastructure have raised concerns that war crimes may be committed, particularly in light of the five-week bombardment that has seen hundreds of hospitals, tens of schools, and thousands of residential homes destroyed.
