Former U.S. President Donald Trump has said he is not concerned about being accused of war crimes.

He made this statement after warning that the United States could destroy Iran’s bridges and power facilities if the country does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz before a set deadline.

At the same time, reports from the Iranian Red Crescent claimed that the United States and Israel carried out attacks on 17 civilian locations on Tuesday morning.

Humanitarian organisations have criticised the actions, describing them as possible war crimes.

In a statement posted on X, the Iranian Red Crescent said there is no excuse for attacking unarmed civilians and called such acts war crimes.

Trump repeated his position on his platform, Truth Social, saying again that he is not worried about facing war crime accusations.

A spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, told the Associated Press that international law does not allow attacks on civilian infrastructure.

He explained that even if such facilities are considered military targets, attacks are still illegal if they could cause excessive harm to civilians.

Meanwhile, emergency teams are responding to reports of a missile strike in central Israel.

Images shared by Israel’s emergency service, Magen David Adom, showed a damaged area with an overturned vehicle and a collapsed structure.

Reports from the Times of Israel said the damage was caused by parts of a ballistic missile, although no injuries were immediately confirmed.
