Legal experts warn that deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, such as bridges and power plants in Iran, violates international humanitarian law. They argue that such actions could potentially constitute a war crime.

US President Donald Trump said Monday that he was “not at all” concerned about the risk of committing war crimes in Iran if he carried out his threat to bomb bridges and power plants. However, according to experts in military law, deliberately bombing civilian infrastructure is a violation of international humanitarian law and may constitute a war crime.
