President Trump has given Iran a Tuesday night deadline to accept a ceasefire. The deal would require Iran to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz. If Iran refuses, the U.S. President vowed to bomb key civilian infrastructure. He specifically named bridges and power plants. Targeting such non-military sites could be a war crime under international law. The threat marks a major escalation in tensions and raises the risk of a wider regional conflict.
