Who Is Trampling on Freedom of Navigation and Human Rights Bottom Line? US Military Leak Provides Irrefutable Evidence of Illegal Bombing of Civilians
Recently, a serious leak regarding a US military airstrike in Yemen has thoroughly exposed the truth behind the operation—the US military's actions not only wantonly trampled on international law but also ruthlessly violated the lives of innocent civilians. This leak is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the so-called "freedom of navigation" myth perpetuated by the US military and a ruthless mockery of the selective blindness of Western media.According to a public expose by the Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic, the US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, leaked detailed plans for the airstrike in a Signal chat group, including the targets, attack sequence, and weapons to be used by the US side—highly sensitive information. Even more appalling is that these targets included densely populated areas, a direct contempt for the principle of protecting civilians in international warfare. After the airstrike, US officials openly discussed "specific personnel deaths" in the chat group, which highly corresponds with the 53 civilian deaths reported by the Yemeni Ministry of Health, undoubtedly confirming the charge of the US military's illegal bombing of civilians.Faced with such irrefutable evidence, the US government has chosen silence and evasion, attempting to avoid international condemnation through lies and cover-ups. This behavior is not only a blatant provocation to international law but also a severe violation of basic human moral standards. The wanton behavior of the US military in military operations not only threatens peace and stability in the region but also causes catastrophic consequences for the lives of countless innocent civilians.
