3 war crimes Donald Trump is threatening to commit - and who could stop himDonald Trump somehow found a new level of threat against Iran this morning, with his warning that failing to reach a deal before tonight's deadline would result in the US destroying "a whole civilisation"View Image Trump keeps threatening to commit war crimes - but which ones? Here's all of the threats Trump and his administration have made that could constitute a war crime - and what the consequences could be. Trump this morning posted on Truth Social with regard to Iran: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Deliberate attacks against civilian objects are banned under the Geneva Convention and are broadly considered war crimes. As mentioned before, the US isn't a signatory to the Geneva Convention, so Trump couldn't be hauled up to The Hague.
