Based on the violations of international law documented during the 2026 Iran War, here are the three concise points detailing how Iran has implemented its new doctrine of “Total War.” They are an imminent threat not only because of their nuclear capabilities and reach, but also because of their total disregard for international law and virulent determination to vaporize their enemies.
- Targeting Innocents: Deliberately firing drones and missiles at purely civilian locations, including the international airport in Dubai, a large residential complex in Bahrain, and a hotel in Kuwait City.
- Invading Neutral States: Disregarding sovereignty by launching military strikes against the Oman, Qatar, and UAE territories, nations that have officially declared their neutrality in the 2026 conflict.
- Employing Indiscriminate Weapons: Utilizing swarms of cheap, imprecise “loitering munitions” (kamikaze drones) from densely populated areas within Iran toward Gulf cities, a tactic designed for mass disruption rather than military precision.
