Analysis Summary
Trump threatened to destroy Iran's power plants and bridges if it does not agree to a U.S. peace deal — a recent escalation in ongoing negotiations during the US-Israel war on Iran. Targeting civilian infrastructure amounts to a war crime under International Humanitarian Law, and experts warned that some strikes could constitute war crimes. The threat follows a series of failed deadline ultimatums; Trump announced on April 18-19 that his delegation was heading to Islamabad for fresh negotiations, warning that the US would 'knock down every power plant and bridge in Iran' if they rejected the offer.
