Controversy over no quarter order in Iran war, US MP calls it illegal
Amidst the ongoing war with America and Israel against Iran, a controversy has arisen over an order by US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth. Democratic congressman and former US Army officer Eugene Vindman has alleged that Hegseth’s alleged no quarter order is against international law. This order means that enemy soldiers will not be taken prisoner in war and those who try to surrender will also be killed.
Eugene Vindman said on social media that orders like no quarter violate the laws of war and the Geneva Conventions. He claimed that American soldiers are not obliged to follow orders that are against international law. Vindman said he has trained hundreds of soldiers in the laws of war and that the Army is required to follow these rules.
Meanwhile Pete Hegseth recently said that he had relaxed some of the useless rules during the war. They argue that this will make military action faster and more effective, while the death toll of civilians in the conflict is increasing.
