Reply to comment by TibotPhinaut in Zero Days (2016) - Stuxnet, a piece of self-replicating computer malware that the U.S. and Israel unleashed to destroy a key part of an Iranian nuclear facility, and which ultimately spread beyond its intended target. [01:53:51] by Missing_Trillions

As well as you'd expect any war crimes prosecutions to go. The laws of war are not very strict to begin with, gathering evidence tends to be extremely challenging. Even locating known witnesses in such countries for interviews is a tremendously difficult task.

There have been more than a hundred people court-martialed in the US over war crimes during the conflicts you mention.

Some of the famous cases that come to mind were almost certainly not war crimes. Perhaps they should be, but according to the laws of war, they weren't.
