Golden Finance reported on April 7 that UN Secretary-General António Guterres was “shocked” by Trump’s threat to attack Iran’s civilian infrastructure, marking the organization’s rare condemnation of the United States.
On Monday, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric told reporters that if Trump carries out his threats, he risks violating international law. Even if the U.S. attacks non-military targets for military purposes, if civilian casualties occur, its legality will face serious challenges. This statement directly targeted a series of remarks Trump recently made on social media.
Trump previously publicly claimed that if Iran refused to reach an agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. would strike its power plants, bridges, and other core infrastructure.
At present, tensions have escalated from verbal threats to actual military action. It has been confirmed that the U.S. military carried out an airstrike on the B1 bridge connecting Tehran and Karaj, resulting in damage to this key transportation hub. In response, at Monday’s press conference, Trump not only showed no concern, but instead escalated further by reiterating the “final ultimatum.”
