Trump’s darkest hour? US president raises the temperature after ceasefire deals fall apart with Iran

Challenged on live TV over how bombing Iran’s bridges and power plants would not be a war crime, Donald Trump lashed out instead of answering. He claimed Iran’s leaders “killed 45,000, maybe 60,000” protesters in a month and branded them “animals,” arguing that justifies his promised April 6 “power plant day” and “bridge day” strikes. The outburst comes just hours after he grudgingly called Iranians “very tough fighters.”
