Tehran Accuses Trump of War Crimes
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Garibabadi stated that U.S. President Donald Trump's public threats to attack Iran's civilian infrastructure constitute war crimes. Garibabadi said on the X platform that, under international law, threatening attacks on power stations and bridges can be considered war crimes.
On April 4, Trump issued a "48-hour ultimatum," demanding Iran either "reach an agreement" or "open the Strait of Hormuz," warning that failure would lead to "disaster." On April 5, he further threatened that "April 7 will be Iran's power plant day and bridge day," explicitly targeting civilian infrastructure such as power plants and bridges.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has warned that attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities have led to a sharp deterioration in nuclear safety. Domestic U.S. media and human rights organizations have also cautioned that attacks on civilian infrastructure may violate international law and amount to war crimes.
