Trump’s tantrum backfires again: NATO ally publicly warns against war crimes-style strikes on Iran

Reports say the Pentagon is widening the range of Iranian sites it could target, including so-called dual-use facilities that supply fuel and electricity to both civilians and the military. According to the claim attributed to Politico, U.S. war planners are revising the target list in a way that could give the administration added legal cover if future strikes trigger accusations of war crimes. The move is already drawing concern from allies. France has publicly warned against any strike on civilian infrastructure in Iran, with Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot saying such attacks would open a dangerous new cycle of escalation and reprisals and could push the region toward an uncontrolled wider war.
