Donald Trump has threatened to expand US strikes on Iran next week to target power plants and bridges if Tehran does not agree to a deal amid a continuing dispute over the strait of Hormuz.

“Next week it gets really bad for them because next week comes the power plants. Next week comes the bridges,” the US president said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday. “We’re going to knock out all their power plants. We’re going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate.”

Trump made similar comments in March, when he threatened to “obliterate” Iran’s power stations and fresh water plants if Tehran did not agree to peace terms “shortly”. Destroying civilian infrastructure such as power and water facilities would be illegal under international humanitarian law and would probably constitute a war crime.

1. He knows he's already a war criminal, So why not keep war criming.

Blowback on the US might not come from all the other countries the US has meddled with.
Blowback on the US people is going to come from The KING of ALL WAR CRiMINALS.

2. And the Generals who carry out those orders are committing war crimes as well.

3. It's almost like he's goading Iran to attack the.American people.

He won’t be happy until the war comes home. The thrill of seeing all of us squirm.
