Is the US committing war crimes by targeting Iran’s civilian infrastructure?

President Trump has threatened to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure, including electric-generating plants, if the country does not reach an unspecified deal with the United States—remarks that international law experts say may constitute war crimes under the Geneva conventions. The Trump administration's stated targeting of civilian infrastructure such as schools, health centers, and homes has drawn serious concern from legal experts who argue such strikes would violate established rules of armed conflict. International humanitarian law prohibits attacks on civilian objects and infrastructure essential to civilian survival, with violations potentially qualifying as war crimes. Trump's rhetoric follows earlier strikes on Iranian civilian targets, according to the excerpt, which legal scholars contend breach obligations under international conventions. The situation underscores tension between U.S. military strategy and international legal constraints on warfare.
