Iran hasn’t hit the desalinization plants and the US hasn’t destroyed the power plants.

So, what is the killing of schoolgirls in the 2026 Minab school attack in Iran classified as? if not a war crime...
This attack killed at least 170 people, primarily girls aged 7 to 12. International law strictly protects schools and children and deliberate attacks on civilian educational institutions are listed as war crimes under Article 8 of the Rome Statute.
okay?
The ICC's definition of genocide in Article 6 of the Rome Statute differs from the UN Genocide Convention's definition since the ICC is concerned with "individual criminal liability", e.g. ICC prosecutes individuals, whereas the Genocide Convention primarily addresses state obligations. According to the ICC definition, the United States and Israel have definitely committed "genocidal war crimes", as the OP puts it, by deliberating targeting and killing children in bombings in Iran.
