Trump Declares Iranian Bridges & Power Plants Off-Limits to Chill Civilians Forever
KEY POINTS
- â˘On Tuesday, President Trump threatened to destroy Iranâs civilian infrastructure, including bridges and power plants.
- â˘Retired Air Force legal expert Rachel VanLandingham called these threats war crimes and warned of extreme legal consequences.
- â˘Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth supported Trumpâs stance, removing military lawyers considered obstacles to the presidentâs agenda.
On a Tuesday that probably deserves a raised eyebrow in military courts, President Trump warned that a 'whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,' promising to bomb Iran's civilian infrastructureâbridges, power plants, and allâbecause why not stretch international laws until they snap like cheap earbuds? Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Rachel VanLandingham called Trump's threat a war crime, citing that scaring civilians just to megaphone power is strictly off-limits. Meanwhile, DOJ's Todd Blanche gave a warm group hug to Trump's deadly rhetoric by 'supporting' the Departments of War and State, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ousted military lawyers seen as pesky 'roadblocks.' So, our officers are stuck between obeying laws that protect civilians and following orders that might rewrite morality like a Netflix series canceled halfway through filming.
