lol Trump is so desperate, just the Kurds going alone will get slaughtered even with air support

Likely, it's one thing providing air support to a handful group of soldiers for a limited amount of time. But when it's hundreds or thousands of groups lasting 24h/day and 365 days/year, the equation shifts.

Question is whether Iran can call the bluff of US/NATO omnipotence, or let themselves be beaten down?

Geneva Convention (II) 1949

Article 18 - Search for casualties after an engagement

After each engagement, Parties to the conflict shall, without delay, take all possible measures to search for and collect the shipwrecked, wounded and sick, to protect them against pillage and ill-treatment, to ensure their adequate care, and to search for the dead and prevent their being despoiled.
Whenever circumstances permit, the Parties to the conflict shall conclude local arrangements for the removal of the wounded and sick by sea from a besieged or encircled area and for the passage of medical and religious personnel and equipment on their way to that area.

1982 UNCLOS
Article 98 Duty to render assistance
Para 1. Every State shall require the master of a ship flying its flag, in so far as he can do so without serious danger to the ship, the crew or the passengers:
(a) to render assistance to any person found at sea in danger of being lost;
(...)

Lethality of current commander in chief is his own problem; conduct of US skipper - supported by DoW, - does constitute a breach of (1)law of the sea, (2)International Humanitarian Law obligations, and Law of war at sea.

US is signed under 1st document, and while UNCLOS isn't ratified by US, they, quote "treat it as a source of common law".

Remarks:
-shall in legal writing is a binding verb, used when necessary action is higher than "must";
-without delay - means, as soon as engagement is finished. Since "each" is used before it, possibility of other standing orders is not excuse of breach of basic humanitarian requirements, unless engagement continues.
-all possible, unlike "reasonable", specify urgency of full rerscue action. This is specified duty, not choice.

Anointed by Jesus and clearly above those stupid Geneva rules. America heck yeah.

Iran has no choice but to fight, didn't they preemptively strike at the Kurds already? The smart thing for the Kurds to do is make a big sign of they're not getting involved and hope the Iranians believe it

All this coolness for a dying empire that will have its entire military destoryed within a day. How poetic!

Iran has also blown up Bahraini oil infrastructure and NSA Bahrain.

Of all the fucked up things the US/Israel has done or is currently doing, this not rescuing enemy sailors thing is not even on the scale, I don't know why you guys are debating about it

Not saving them is probably the most honorable thing they have done the recently.

People should focus on why India didn't respond and save those sailors, expecting the US to save their enemy. Yeah you have a higher chance of getting a favourable deal with the devil.

Yeah all this is is a reference for what to do with US sailers when their ships get sunk, just need to remember it and move on.

Yeah, I get the feeling Iran is forgiving a lot of Indian backstabbing.... I wonder how much of it is due to some strange Iranian's racism about Aryan race origin or something like that (If anyone met and talked to Iranians you'd know what I mean)

Hey, seems the Kurds might actually have more than two braincells to rub together.

Its not good tact to show desperation when trying to convince someone to invest in you, especially with their lives.
