JAKARTA - President of the European Council Antonio Costa emphasized that attacking civilian infrastructure during war is an illegal act and violates international law.
"Any targeting of civilian infrastructure, especially energy facilities, is illegal and unacceptable," Costa said on his social media account, Monday, April 6, quoted by AFP.
Costa pressed the rule of war in international humanitarian law binding wars wherever they are, including US-Israeli attacks on Iran or the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
"This applies to Russia's war in Ukraine and applies everywhere," he said.
Costa's comments came after US President Donald Trump warned Iran via his social media to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday night or the US would destroy civilian infrastructure in Iran, namely power plants and bridges.
Senior politician in the US Senate, Chuck Schumer, has also warned Trump not to act on his own because he openly intends to commit war crimes in Iran, and in particular to distance himself from US allies.
"The President of the United States is babbling like a crazy person on social media. He threatens the possibility of war crimes and alienates allies. This is him, but this is not us. Our country deserves much better," Chuck said on Monday, April 6, quoted from The Guardian.
