Repeated threats by American leaders to attack Iran are multiple violations of the UN Charter and the Nuremburg principles.

‘Continued military activity’?
There are active American military bases and installations on every continent but Antarctica; more than 700 world-wide by several estimates with the likelihood that there are upwards of 1000 if one should be able to count secret, classified ones.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would certainly constitute ‘continued military activity’.
The recently revealed allocation of funds to support covert military action against Iran must be included here. Quite unlike the military activity so absurdly decried by McCain, the aforementioned military actions are most decidedly not within the recognized borders of the United States.
CHECK!
So, of the three charges Senator McCain levels against Iran in his brief statement, all three apply with even greater weight to the USA.
One must wonder with trepidation, what the ultimate cost will be of America’s continuing militaristic foreign policy.
Cast the beam from your own eye, Senator.
