Trump Vows to Continue Pressure on Iran Despite Warnings of War Crimes
US President Donald Trump has downplayed concerns over potential war crimes, reiterating his administration’s commitment to increasing pressure on Iran at a high-stakes speech delivered at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland.
At the heart of the controversy lies Trump’s threat to target Iran’s key infrastructure assets, a move that has been met with widespread international condemnation. In remarks made before the CPAC audience, Trump emphasized his determination to address what he perceives as a security threat posed by Iran, citing the country’s ballistic missile program and alleged involvement in regional conflicts.
