“Donald Trump, other senior US officials and their cheerleaders appear to be embracing attacks – and threats of attacks – on Iranian civilian infrastructure, which legal experts say appears to constitute serious war crimes under international law.
“ In a rambling national address on Wednesday, the US president warned that if Iran did not reach an unspecified deal with him, US forces would “hit each and every one of their electric-generating plants” and “bring [Iran] back to the stone ages – where they belong”.
“Following through on that threat a day later, Trump posted images of a strike on the unfinished B1 bridge near Tehran, warning: “Much more to follow!””
It’s beyond the targeting of civilian infrastructure (which is a war crime)
They’re deliberately “double tapping” which is a terrorist strategy (used by other shit governments like Israel) where you attack the same location roughly an hour later even tho the strike destroyed the target.
Because after the first strike, emergency responders have arrived, and the follow up is to kill them so they can’t provide aid in that strike or any other.
There’s almost no clearer war crime than that double tap, and Trump’s been doing them as standard procedure because no one has called him out.
Hell just keep going bigger till someone stops them, and if the US government won’t do it, if other governments won’t do it, it doesn’t leave many options to stop him
it’s like being a sniper, shooting someone in the kneecaps then shooting everyone that comes to rescue him
What’s worse is that once you establish this pattern, emergency services have to wait for the second strike, which means people die waiting for help. A lot of injuries go from “treatable” to “deadly” in that first hour.
