Civilian power plants should only be targeted if there is military necessity. Inflicting suffering on the people of Iran, who generally hate their govt, is that fastest way to screw that up.

Cruelty to civilians seems to be the point for MAGA. Everything they do is designed to hurt people even if it hurts themselves in the process. We know Trump is obsessed with using the military to kill civilians and the adults in his previous administration had to shut him down.

they are being punished for not immediately running out in the streets armed with spatulas and screaming ‘thank you sir’, he wanted the citizens to remove the govt and since they failed to do so he finds them deserving of his retribution, it will only get worse

If killing babies and having no remorse about it and instead going for a game of golf the next day why would he care to shut down a country’s power grid causing the suffering of innocent people.

Congratulations Trump -you are the master of the The Cobra Effect, ie; your actions always result in the opposite of what you expected. I would like to present to you , yet another trophy to your collection of unworthy gold prizes.

If he does this, it will inflict suffering on the Iranian people and cause them to move more toward the regime. And it will empower Iran to increase their attacks on Gulf Infrastructure

RULE: You cannot intentionally make a civilian power plant the object of an attack. VIOLATION: If a commander orders a strike on a plant simply to "break the will" of the people or cause civilian suffering, it is a clear war crime under Article 52 of Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions.

The failure of well armed inhumane dictatorships to understand a people's drive to protect home & country against overwhelming odds, is the blood watered seed that grows into a forever war. They assume everyone is motivated by the same things they are, power & greed, to make life transactional.

Military benefit of knocking out a power station has to outweigh the civilian suffering to be justified. In this case almost certainly it doesn't, which makes it a war crime. (And please MAGAs don't ever speak again of a 'Rules Based Order,' Trump has already trashed it.)

The US went into South Vietnam and supported the existing dictator who mistreated the South Vietnamese population. No wonder they turned against the Americans. And now Trump's foray into war with Iran will bring more hate from it's citizens when we could have made peace instead.

Yeah, we shouldn’t be worried at all about retaliation from Iran, even within United States borders. Especially since we’ll have an experienced PLUMBER taking over DHS leadership from the Botox Cosplay Puppy Killer. It’s all good, right?

Breaking News from Okey Dokey News Media! They are now reporting that they have an exclusive picture of President Trump as he tries to explain the Iran War to the American People! By the looks of it, Trump is Underwater. “Trump Says U.S. Will Postpone Strikes on Iranian Energy Infrastructure”

And turn these people to join their crappy government in this war against the U.S. and Israel. When that indiscriminate bombing kill or hurt one member of a family, 50 people swear death to their attackers.

We're already dealing with Elon Musk's AI.Which could've played part in the Tomahawk AI murder of hundreds of innocent lives in Iran.This just seems more of the same.I'm not putting it past him or our government letting him at this point. tRump wants to murder innocent lives,as much as Iran.

Nothing strengthens the resolve of people against their enemies than attacks on the civilian population. They will remember forever.

If I'm not mistaken, it's also a war crime, plus it's a total dick move. Oh, wait. What's the next dick move, motivated by cruelty, we can expect from our mad king and his coterie of assholes?

A gift to the regime... increasing hatred for the West among the general population, as opposed to just hardliners. Like lifting sanctions on Iranian oil - a gift to the regime. Trump has royally screwed things up, and is now BEGGING the rest of the world, friend & foe alike, to come to his rescue.

How do you know that the Iranian people hate their government? As bad as their government has been, its still vastly more popular than the alternatives the US and EU seem to support. And if it wasn't for US sanctions, it's likely Iran would have evolved differently. Same for Cuba.

F a 'military necessity'; men deciding what systems and people to kill because they think they have the right, that they are the good guys. F unprovoked, illegal aggressions by the US and Israel too.

What Trump and Netanyahu sow they will also reap. If they target Iranian power plants and oil facilities, Iranians will unleash hell and target infrastructure throughout the Gulf and the numerous tankers and cargo ships in the Gulf. Congress could stop this, but they won’t.

The orange menace has not a clue. Then mix in a cabinet of talking heads that has only reported conspiracies that their billionaire owners let them. You expected competence?

This is correct. Claiming something is a war crime, against someone who is already doing just that particular war crime and shooting cluster bombs on civilian areas at random, is utterly stupid. War crimes are mainly policed by reciprocity, since there's no world police to arrest a criminal.

Come on, it's just more of what trump & his zombies conspired, no one can take a country like America over, isolate America from our allies using unAmerican deadly power without a conscience all in 2 years by accident. #RemovalRequired asap for the sake of future generations-

Power plants? So boring. Israel's water desalination plants have been marked with a big bullseye. Israel is cruising for a bruising, and it may find itself very, very thirsty. That country needs to see up close and personal what a true war crime looks like.

Ain’t THAT the truth? Those poor people have been betrayed over and over again, and Trump pretending that they could “rise up and overthrow” their government will turn the victims into people Trump will dismiss for not fighting, mark my words… 😞

Isn't there a danger to neighboring countries of radiation? When Chernobyl blew up the radiation reached as far as Finland and Sweden. Hopefully Iran's neighbors are exerting whatever pressure they have on Trump.
