Trump's threats to target Iranian civilian infrastructure spark war crime concerns

Donald Trump has drawn renewed criticism after reiterating warnings that the United States could target civilian infrastructure in Iran. Legal experts and international observers argue that deliberately bombing non-military facilities to weaken a nation violates international law and could constitute a war crime. The statements have reignited debate over presidential rhetoric, international legal accountability, and the boundaries governing military force. While such comments are intended to project deterrence against Tehran, scholars emphasize that international humanitarian law strictly prohibits direct attacks on non-military targets.
