Trump threatens Iranian civilizational death
With an 8 p.m. deadline looming, President Trump has escalated his rhetoric to unprecedented levels, threatening the complete demolition of Iran's power plants and bridges.
Legal experts and retired military generals have warned that such orders could constitute war crimes under international law, potentially leading to a 'Nuremberg' style reckoning.
While some GOP lawmakers remain silent, a growing chorus of Democrats and conservative critics are calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials have responded by urging citizens to form human chains around critical infrastructure to act as shields against potential strikes.
