#Hegseth again threatens attacks on #Iran #civilian #infrastructure

Defense Secy #PeteHegseth Thursday renewed his #threat to attack Iran’s electrical infrastructure if the ceasefire between Washington & Tehran failed.

“Our forces are maximally postured to restart combat operations should this new Iranian regime choose poorly & not agree to a deal,” Hegseth said during a briefing to reporters at the #Pentagon.

The U.S. blockade of shipments through the Strait of Hormuz would last “for as long as it takes,” the defense secretary said.

…#Hegseth repeatedly urged Iran’s leaders to “choose wisely” & said the #US naval blockade of #Iran ports would continue “as long as it takes.” The #Trump admin has alternated between assuring a peace deal is within reach & threatening Iran’s leadership if it does not comply…

“If Iran chooses poorly, then they will have a blockade & bombs dropping on infrastructure, power, & #energy,” Hegseth said. Under #InternationalLaw, intentionally targeting Iran’s #civilian #infrastructure is a #WarCrime.

"Netanyahu’s justification for such a horrific attack on #civilian centres hours after the ceasefire had been announced appeared thin at least. His boasts about killing an aide to Qassem & his insistence of Israel’s right to continuing striking in #Lebanon suggested... it was an attempt to act as a spoiler in a #ceasefire he had argued against."

#Israel said it hit >100 #Hezbollah command centres & military sites in #Beirut, the eastern #BekaaValley region & southern #Lebanon.

Most of the targets were located in #civilian populated areas.

If Trump commits war crimes in Iran, he can be prosecuted

There is no question that Trump’s threats, if carried out, would amount to war crimes. The international justice system is positioned to act
