Le président américain Donald Trump warned that he could order strikes against key infrastructure in Iran, including bridges and power plants, marking a new verbal escalation in the ongoing conflict.
In a message posted on social media, Donald Trump asserted that the US military "hasn't even begun to destroy what's left in Iran," adding that the next targets could include bridges and then power plants. He also urged Iranian leaders to act quickly to prevent an escalation of hostilities.
This statement is part of a series of recent pronouncements by the president, who has repeatedly raised the possibility of expanding strikes to energy and strategic infrastructure. He has also repeatedly changed the objectives and timing of the American intervention, fueling uncertainty about Washington's strategy.
These threats are causing serious international concern, particularly due to the risks to civilian populations. The targeted infrastructure, such as power plants, is essential to the country's daily operations and the survival of its inhabitants.
In this context, international law experts have warned of potential violations of the laws of war if such targets were indeed attacked. They reiterate that international rules prohibit targeting facilities essential to civilian life.
As the conflict continues, these statements reinforce fears of a major escalation. They also illustrate the pressure exerted by Washington on Tehran, in a context of extreme tensions and strategic uncertainty.
