Washington DC - President Donald Trump openly advertised his intention to commit war crimes in Iran by destroying the country's civilian infrastructure and gushed over the possibility of seizing its resources.

In a series of increasingly unhinged social media posts, Trump announced that the US "hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran."

"Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!" he wrote, after airstrikes destroyed Iran's biggest bridge in, around 20 miles southwest of Tehran.

The 79-year-old has also threatened to attack oil wells and depots and desalination plants that ensure drinking water for over 92 millions people, vowing to return Iran "back to the Stone Ages, where they belong."

The phrase has become popular with Trump's allies and administration – among them Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, who simply posted "Back to the Stone Age" on X. He previously reveled in "death and destruction from the sky all day long" in Iran.

The Geneva Conventions governing the laws of war, agreed following World War II, prohibit destruction of "objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population."

Trump followed up on Friday morning, posting: "With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE. IT WOULD BE A “GUSHER” FOR THE WORLD???"

Despite his incessant boasts and outlandish claims, the US and its partner Israel have so far been unable to break Iran's resistance in a war that has so far succeeded only in closing the vital Strait of Hormuz to most oil transit.
