Is Trump Threatening Genocide Against Iran?
The UN and ICC define genocide as intent to destroy a group, in whole or part, by acts such as killing members, causing serious harm, imposing destructive living conditions, preventing births, or transferring children. The UN Security Council’s definition of terrorism covers acts meant to terrorize civilians or force a government to act. In his latest post on Truth Social, Trump demanded that Iran open its straits and vowed to destroy Iran as a civilization. These words imply planned mass killings and indiscriminate bombings, possibly involving nuclear weapons. I expect Trump and his war cabinet, including Pete Hegseth, will face justice at The Hague for crimes of aggression, war crimes, and genocide.
