#Trump brushes off #WarCrime concerns as he repeats threat to #Iran #infrastructure

[nonilex@masto.ai]

“We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every #bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night,” #Trump said during his Monday news conference.

#PowerPlants in #Iran, he continued would be “burning, exploding & never to be used again.”

Trump refused to say whether any #civilian targets would be off limits in the #US response.

#Trump says he’s “not at all” concerned about committing #WarCrimes as he continues to threaten destruction of Iran’s #bridges & #PowerPlants if they don’t meet a Tuesday-evening deadline to reopen the #StraitOfHormuz.

“I hope I don’t have to do it,” Trump added.

@Nonilex The doofus is stuck on bridges. Well, the voters had their chance. Americans shouldn’t complain when other countries start blowing up ours.

One would think that targeting all power plants and "every bridge in Iran," would, by definition, include civilians and civilian infrastructure. Such non-discrimination in picking targets would be the equivalent of imposing a "no quarter" rule and constitute a war crime.

#UN Secretary-General #AntonioGuterres warned the #US that attacking #civilian #infrastructure is banned under #InternationalLaw, his spox said Monday.

“Even if specific civilian infrastructure were to qualify as a military objective,” spox Stephane Dujarric said, an attack would still be prohibited if it risks “excessive incidental civilian harm.”

A court would need to decide whether such attacks were #WarCrimes, he said.

@Nonilex All of us: The 25th Amendment… I hope we don’t have to do it.

Actually, scratch that, we had to do it ages ago.

No chance for 25th Amendment. That has to be invoked by his own cabinet. There isn’t a single one either a backbone in the bunch.

Our only hope is that Democrats win majorities in both House & Senate & they impeach him. Again.

How does this help promote the freedom of the people of Iran?

Of course he’s not worried about being held accountable for war crimes. He’s never been held accountable for anything in his miserable life.
