This article reports that former U.S. officials and international law experts are warning that Donald Trump's threats to bomb Iranian civilian infrastructure, specifically power stations and desalination plants, could be considered war crimes. They argue that such actions would turn the U.S. into a 'rogue state' and violate international humanitarian law, particularly since these facilities are crucial for civilians. The experts emphasize that intentionally destroying critical civilian infrastructure is a clear breach of international legal standards.
