Iran says Trump threats amount to incitement for war crimes Iran has condemned threats from Donald Trump, with its foreign ministry accusing him of promoting actions that would constitute war crimes. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Trump’s warnings against Iran reflect “an indication of a criminal mindset” and amount to “incitement for war crimes and crimes against humanity”. “Threatening to attack a country’s critical infrastructure, energy sector, it would mean that you want to put at risk the whole population,” Baghaei told Reuters.
