Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmail Baghaei today accused the United States government of attempting to normalize the commission of war crimes.

In a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Baghaei affirmed that no military order can justify such actions.

"Orders issued by senior US officials do not absolve those responsible for war crimes from criminal liability," he emphasized.

The spokesman maintained that Washington intends to sacrifice what remains of international humanitarian law and human values in favor of its warmongering policies.

He also warned that attacks against civilian infrastructure, such as bridges and power plants, constitute a violation of international law.

Baghaei characterized these actions as acts of reprisal and collective punishment—practices that, he stated, are explicitly prohibited and may constitute war crimes under both international law and US legislation.

The statements follow threats made by US President Donald Trump to bomb Iranian infrastructure, including bridges and power stations, in response to any attacks by Tehran against vessels or maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

On July 8, Trump announced the end of the ceasefire outlined in the memorandum of understanding signed with Iran on June 18.
