United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres just dropped a bombshell, stating there are “reasonable grounds” to believe both sides in the escalating U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran might have committed war crimes. Now, he’s putting the ball squarely in President Trump’s court to urge de-escalation.
Speaking from Brussels, Guterres said, “If there are attacks either on Iran or from Iran on energy infrastructure, I think that there are reasonable grounds to think that they might constitute a war crime.” We’ve definitely seen this play out recently, too. Israel hit Iran’s South Pars natural gas field on Wednesday, then Tehran retaliated by striking a major energy complex in Qatar.
