Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said that US President Donald Trump's threats to strike power plants and bridges in Iran could amount to war crimes.
"The American president, as the highest official of his country, has publicly threatened to commit war crimes," Gharibabadi said in a post on X, citing Article 8(2)(b) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Iran strikes on Israel kill two

Firefighters were searching for two others missing in the rubble.
The seven-storey building partially collapsed after being hit by the "direct impact of a missile", the military told AFP.
Strikes on Tehran
Israel's army said it had completed a wave of strikes against "regime targets" in Tehran.
Iranian local media also reported several attacks on residential areas across Tehran.
Gas outages hit parts of the capital after a strike on a university, according to Iran's state broadcaster IRIB.
Iran threatens 'devastating' retaliation
Iran's central military command warned of "much more devastating" retaliation if its adversaries hit civilian targets.
"If attacks on civilian targets are repeated, the next stages of our offensive and retaliatory operations will be much more devastating and widespread," a spokesman for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said, according to state broadcaster IRIB.
US President Donald Trump previously threatened to destroy Iran's civilian infrastructure if Tehran does not strike a deal to reopen the Gulf to shipping.
