U.S. President Donald Trump said in a social media post this morning that “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” as his threatened attacks on Iranian infrastructure loom ahead of an 8 p.m. ET deadline.

Iran has rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and says it wants a permanent end to the war.

UN Secretary General António Guterres warned the U.S. that attacking civilian infrastructure is banned under international law.

The death toll so far includes more than 1,900 people in Iran, 1,400 in Lebanon, 23 in Israel, about two dozen in other countries in the region, 13 U.S. service members and 11 Israeli soldiers.

    Yeah, it is illegal. However is anyone to punish the US for it?

      Better write a letter to let know Israel that they can’t legally genocide the Palestinian and Lebanese people.

      A year ago, with the Greenland / Canada threats and idiotic tariffs, I begged that there be some kind EU … GIGN / GROM / KSK type operation to eliminate Trump and his cabinet.

      I guess people thought I was joking.

      Since then, things have gotten literally insanely worse, kidnapped Maduro, blew up NATO, essentially destroyed 20% of the world’s economy, etc.

      International law is totally meaningless unless there’s people actually enforcing it.

        We don’t enforce domestic laws in the US either, unless we are talking about poor people.
