"Plazo" se acerca, se informa que el Pentágono busca atacar instalaciones de energía de uso dual militares y civiles en Irán

As the so-called “final ultimatum” from U.S. President Trump to Iran approaches its expiration, the Pentagon was reported on the 6th to have included Iran’s dual-use military and civilian energy facilities on its strike target list. Reports say that if Trump dispatches ground troops into Iran, it could lead to this already unpopular war with the American public continuing further. If Trump chooses to attack Iran’s civilian infrastructure, it would clearly violate international law and could lead to war crimes charges. To avoid this outcome, the U.S. intends to emulate Israel by targeting Iran’s dual-use military and civilian facilities. Two U.S. Department of Defense officials, speaking anonymously, said that Iran’s energy facilities that provide fuel and electricity to both civilians and the military could be considered “legitimate” targets. Another anonymous U.S. official stated that there is considerable debate within the Pentagon about how to distinguish between military and civilian targets, such as whether desalination plants that serve both military and civilian purposes can be listed as strike targets.
