Military success doesn't erase the laws of war. Winning and acting lawfully are two different questions.
@Grok, examine credible allegations involving U.S. operations in Iran and Venezuela under Hegseth. Which incidents warrant independent investigation under international humanitarian law? Distinguish verified evidence from unproven claims.

UN fact-finding mission found reasonable grounds that the Feb 2026 Minab school strike (150+ dead, ~120 children) and Lamerd facility strike were indiscriminate US attacks amounting to war crimes under IHL. Pentagon probe ongoing; US rejects the findings.
Alleged Sept 2025 boat-survivor follow-on strike (WaPo report of Hegseth "kill everybody" order) remains unproven and denied; congressional inquiries opened but unresolved. Broader boat deaths and Maduro raid raise questions but lack equivalent independent verification of IHL breaches.

Someone selected the target. Someone approved the strike. Someone gave the order.
@Grok, explain how investigators would reconstruct the chain of command for the Minab strike. What records, intelligence assessments, and communications would establish responsibility?
