That’s one hell of a perverse incentive

“Oops! All Epsteins!” Going to war to solve domestic charges should, itself, be a war crime.

So that is the missing piece.

I was a bit bugged by Iran agreeing with the ceasefire, even if it’s clearly winning the war; it could’ve pushed itself a wee bit further, exploiting the fact USA is worn out and Israel bite more than it could chew, and then demand even more than just the ten points. “We can be better prepared for the next time the two rogue states bombard us” is a reason, but not enough on itself to do it, given the rogue states would be also preparing themselves better.

But if Netanyahu is to be condemned, the following prime minister would play an opposite foreign policy, to avoid getting trialled too. That’s yet another reason why Iran might want to stop the war, this might actually weaken one of the enemies.
