UN Flags Legal Risks as Trump Threatens Strikes on Iran Civilian Targets

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres is “alarmed” by President Donald Trump’s threats to attack civilian infrastructure in Iran, his spokesman said, a rare rebuke of the US by the world body.

Trump risks violating international law if he makes good on the threats, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters Monday. He said even if the US has a military objective in attacking non-military targets, the risk of harm to civilians could make the strikes illegal.
