The New York Times asks: Israel Struck an Iranian Steel Facility. Was It a Valid Military Target?
First few paragraphs:
Over the course of the Iran war, U.S. and Israeli warplanes hit missile depots and launchers, security forces’ headquarters and air defense systems.
Yet not all of the targets during the six-week campaign were traditional military sites. On March 27, and again a few days later, Israeli airstrikes pounded a vast steel complex just outside Isfahan called Mobarakeh Steel, and another one in the southwest of the country.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel asserted that his country’s strikes had slashed Iran’s steel production capacity and eliminated revenue for the powerful Revolutionary Guards, whose repression underpins the Iranian government.
Has the NYT ever published an article questioning Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries as valid military targets? Oil refineries may make fuel for military vehicles, but they also make gasoline for civilian use as well, as we see now with the long lines for gas all over Russia. I'm waiting for the Times article questioning the legitimacy of this Ukrainian tactic.
If anyone has seen an NYT article questioning Ukrainian targets, please let me know!
