US President Trump stated he is 'not at all' worried about committing war crimes if Iran fails to meet his deadline, threatening to bomb energy facilities. He argued that allowing Iran to possess nuclear weapons is the real war crime, while describing Iranian leaders as 'animals.' International bodies and US politicians strongly criticized the threat to attack civilian infrastructure, with the UN Secretary-General warning of international law violations.
As President Trump threatened full-scale war if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, France's Foreign Minister warned that attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure violate international law. They cautioned that such actions would drag the region and global economy into a dangerous cycle. Italy's Defense Minister also issued a serious warning about conflict escalation, referencing nuclear weapon risks.
Prime Minister Netanyahu stated support for President Trump's decision to suspend strikes against Iran for two weeks. However, he clarified that this ceasefire does not include the war with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel also affirmed its support for US efforts to eliminate Iran's nuclear and missile threats.
