Congress must act immediately to prevent President Trump from bombing Iranian power plants, bridges, and desalination facilities. His threats to destroy civilian infrastructure constitute war crimes under international law, according to military law experts including retired Air Force Lt. Col. Rachel VanLandingham and Naval War College professor Michael Schmitt. Trump has set a Tuesday night deadline to attack if Iran doesn't reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He's threatened to make every power plant "burning, exploding and never to be used again" and posted on Truth Social about obliterating "all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!)." Cutting power to hospitals and water treatment plants will kill civilians. Destroying desalination plants will eliminate drinking water for millions of people. Under the laws of armed conflict, attacks must minimize civilian harm and be proportional. Trump's broad threats show no consideration for civilian casualties. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric confirmed that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned if it risks "excessive incidental civilian harm." You have the constitutional authority to stop this. Pass emergency legislation blocking these attacks, invoke the War Powers Resolution, or begin impeachment proceedings. Trump said he's "not at all" concerned about war crimes. Congress must be.
