"Trump declares his intent to commit war crimes and turn the United States into a global pariah"
"Trump's list of war crimes mounts."

"Destruction of Iran's power plants, oil wells, and desalinization plants would cause catastrophic civilian deaths that would rapidly exceed the combined total of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and could ultimately cause the death of millions.
