"With every passing hour, we know and we know they know that the military capabilities of their evil regime are crumbling. They can barely communicate, let alone coordinate. They're confused and we know it. Our response? We will keep pressing, we will keep pushing, keep advancing, no quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
"The International Committee of the Red Cross defines no quarter as refusing to spare the life of anybody, even of persons manifestly unable to defend themselves or who clearly express their intention to surrender during war-time hostilities. According to international humanitarian law, 'Directions to give no quarter' was listed as a war crime in the Report of the Commission on Responsibility set up after the First World War."
During a Pentagon press conference, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was confronted about his previous statement that U.S. forces would show Iran's regime 'no quarter, no mercy.' A reporter directly challenged him, stating that 'no quarter' is a war crime and questioned whether this represents official U.S. military policy. Hegseth did not fully address the accusation before ending the press conference. The International Committee of the Red Cross defines 'no quarter' as refusing to spare lives of anyone, including those unable to defend themselves or expressing surrender intentions. International humanitarian law identifies such directives as war crimes, a classification established after World War I.
