SOTN<\/a> Editor’s Note: Not in the 250 years of American history has a POTUS ever publicly threatened to commit such egregious war crimes against a sovereign nation while perpetrating them in real time.<\/h3>\n

But what exactly constitutes a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions, of which the United States is a signatory?<\/h3>\n

Geneva Conventions (IV), Article 147 \u2013 Defines \u2018Extensive Destruction\u2026Of Property, Not Justified By Military Necessity And Carried Out Unlawfully\u2026As A \u2018Grave Breach\u2019\u2026And Therefore Is A War Crime\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

In point of fact, Trump has already distinguished himself as a serial war criminal and that verdict comes from some of the nation’s top military attorneys.<\/h3>\n

As for the patently unlawful and unprovoked war of naked aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, it appears that the Trump-Netanyahu war crime duo has already crossed the nuclear line of war crimes.<\/h3>\n

In view of what is perhaps Trump’s most vicious war crime of all — the barbaric assassination of Iran’s Supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini and his family on day one of this war — it’s becoming clear that Tehran and their many Shiite allies will ensure that the POTUS suffers the appropriate retribution along with the invading U.S. Armed Forces who are presently amassing throughout the Middle East.<\/h3>\n

Trump is tired of this war. So, are war crimes the final solution?<\/p>\n

Truth Social<\/a>: The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made but, if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached, which it probably will be, and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately \u201cOpen for Business,\u201d we will conclude our lovely \u201cstay\u201d in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), <\/em>which we have purposefully not yet \u201ctouched.\u201d This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old Regime\u2019s 47 year \u201cReign of Terror.\u201d Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP<\/p>\n

War Crimes Galore<\/strong><\/p>\n

One does not retaliate (should not retaliate) by blowing up civilian targets. To do so is a war crime.<\/p>\n

Even threatening to do so is a war crime says my constitutional expert friend. But no one would hold Trump accountable.<\/p>\n

War-crimes analysis under international humanitarian law (IHL)IHL (primarily the Geneva Conventions, customary international law, and elements of Additional Protocol I that are widely accepted as binding) applies here because this is an active armed conflict. The core rules are distinction, proportionality, precautions in attack, and the specific ban on attacking objects indispensable to civilian survival. \u201cWar crime\u201d status requires intent and commission (or ordering) of the prohibited act during armed conflict. A public threat alone is not automatically a war crime, but carrying it out as described would very likely cross into that territory for several reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Desalination plants (\u201cpossibly all desalinization plants\u201d)
    \nThese are classic \u201cobjects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population\u201d (drinking water infrastructure). Additional Protocol I, Article 54 (widely regarded as customary law) explicitly prohibits attacking them, even if they have some dual-use value. Destroying them would foreseeably cause widespread civilian suffering (dehydration, disease, displacement) unrelated to any concrete military gain. This is one of the clearest potential war-crime triggers in the statement. Precedents: Similar attacks or threats have drawn strong condemnation and, in other conflicts (e.g., certain Russian actions in Ukraine), contributed to war-crimes investigations.<\/li>\n
  2. All electric generating plants
    \nPower plants are frequently dual-use (they support both civilian life and military operations). IHL allows targeting genuine military objectives, but the phrasing \u201ccompletely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants\u201d is sweeping and risks being indiscriminate or disproportionate. A nationwide blackout would cripple hospitals, water treatment, food refrigeration, civilian communications, etc., producing civilian harm that is excessive relative to the military advantage of denying the Iranian regime electricity. Past U.S.\/coalition strikes on Iraqi power infrastructure in 1991 were heavily criticized on exactly these grounds, though never prosecuted. Modern interpretations (ICRC, UN experts, ICC practice) treat blanket power-grid attacks that foreseeably cause mass civilian hardship as unlawful unless tightly targeted and necessary.<\/li>\n
  3. Oil wells and Kharg Island (Iran\u2019s main oil export terminal)
    \nThis is the grayest area. Oil infrastructure can qualify as a military objective if it makes an \u201ceffective contribution to military action\u201d (e.g., funding the war machine or supplying fuel to Iranian forces) and its destruction offers a \u201cdefinite military advantage.\u201d The U.S. has historically argued this for economic targets supporting an enemy war effort. However:<\/p>\n
