I like watching cats hunt. So slow and methodical until that final explosive moment.

If you want to ignore the plain implication of baseline language and operate under the ill-conceived notion that Trump actually knows and understands the terms of art at issue so as to justify the distinction, then by all means. You're welcome to. I see no cause to because he has given me none over the last three years.

I never said "just museums". Do you have problems understanding basic English? Because its the 3rd time in the span on 1 page.
Do you have problems reading the definition in subsection a? It's in plain English, after all. There is no basis for your statement of:

Cultural site implies a museum

He didnt say this. He said sites important to Iranian culture. Which literally could be anything (old aircraft fields, military bases, etc). Cultural site implies a museum, which isn't even close to the same thing.

Nice try though

Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property
Article 1 of the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property defines cultural property, for the purposes of the Convention, irrespective of origin or ownership, as:
(a) movable or immovable property of great importance to the cultural heritage of every people, such as monuments of architecture, art or history, whether religious or secular; archaeological sites; groups of buildings which, as a whole, are of historical or artistic interest; works of art; manuscripts, books and other objects of artistic, historical or archaeological interest; as well as scientific collections and important collections of books or archives or of reproductions of the property defined above;
(b) buildings whose main and effective purpose is to preserve or exhibit the movable cultural property defined in sub-paragraph (a) such as museums, large libraries and depositories of archives, and refuges intended to shelter, in the event of armed conflict, the movable cultural property defined in sub-paragraph (a);
(c) centres containing a large amount of cultural property as defined in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b), to be known as centres containing monuments


The definition is broader than just "museum."

isn't a war crime
Except the part where he is directly threatening to hit cultural sites without mitigating explanation as to military value thereof. In fact, the tweet goes all in on coming from an angle of revenge rather than military value.

He threatened a war crime. There is no twisting this. Some dingus on 261 already tried to.

What part of any of this war crimes? It's "tit for tat" style tactics. If Iran or an Iranian backed militia attack American targets, the US will retaliate. What about that makes it a war crime?
The part where sites of cultural importance are purportedly targets. See the various bits of treaty language here: https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/customary-ihl/eng/docs/v2_rul_rule38

The United States is in fact a signatory to and has ratified the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property and a signatory to AP I.
