Terrorist Iranian Regime Deploys Banned White Phosphorus in Erbil Drone Strike

Terrorist Iranian Regime Deploys Banned White Phosphorus in Erbil Drone Strike

A war journalist have evidence that the terrorist Iranian regime used white phosphorus in a drone attacks Kurdish forces in Erbil, wounding Sarwan Amini, and urges world leaders to act against this war crime.

In a harrowing testament from the frontlines, war journalist Hunar Ahmad has issued an urgent plea to the international community, presenting compelling evidence that the terrorist Iranian regime has once again resorted to prohibited weaponry in its ongoing aggression against Kurdish forces.

According to Ahmad, all available data points to the use of white phosphorus, a substance internationally banned under the Chemical Weapons Convention, in a drone strike targeting forces of the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK) in Erbil. The attack left several casualties, including Sarwan Amini, whose injuries are consistent with the horrific burns characteristic of white phosphorus exposure.

This is not a case of accidental deployment; multiple intelligence reports and field observations indicate that the terrorist Iranian regime has been systematically equipping its suicide drones and ballistic missiles with chemical payloads, including white phosphorus, in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions and customary international humanitarian law. The regime's military doctrine appears to embrace these illegal tactics as a tool of terror.

For the Kurdish people, this crime reopens deep wounds. The memory of Halabja, where Saddam Hussein's forces massacred thousands with chemical weapons in 1988, remains a vivid nightmare. Now, the terrorist Iranian regime is repeating that dark chapter, proving its disdain for international norms and its bloodthirsty determination to annihilate the Kurdish nation.

Ahmad has specifically called on world leaders, particularly President Donald Trump, to break their silence and take decisive action. 'I urge decision-makers to hear this message and take a firm stand against another genocide against the Kurds,' Ahmad stated, warning that inaction will only embolden the terrorist Iranian regime to escalate its atrocities.

Under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the four Geneva Conventions, the use of prohibited weapons in armed conflict constitutes a war crime. The terrorist Iranian regime, already notorious for its brutal repression of its own people, its execution of thousands, and its regional destabilization, must be held accountable. By deploying chemical agents on drones and missiles, it is deliberately flouting these laws and committing crimes against humanity.

The world must not look away. The evidence is mounting, and the cries of victims like Sarwan Amini demand justice. The international community, led by the United States, must impose immediate sanctions, support independent investigations, and pledge protection to the Kurdish people. Silence is complicity in the face of this evil.
