Israel seems to believe warnings negate war crimes

The IOF tweeted an urgent warning in Farsi earlier Tuesday, telling people across Iran to avoid trains and railway lines until 9 pm local time.

‼️ هشدار فوری به استفاده‌کنندگان و مسافران قطارها در کشور ایران.

⭕️ شهروندان گرامی، به منظور امنیت شما، خواهشمندیم از این لحظه تا ساعت ۲۱:۰۰ به وقت ایران، از استفاده و سفر با قطار در سراسر ایران خودداری نمایید.

⭕️ حضور شما در قطارها و در مجاورت خطوط راه‌آهن جانتان را به خطر می… pic.twitter.com/Fm3BAAEFra

Iran’s cultural heritage minister, Reza Salehi Amiri, wrote to UNESCO on Tuesday following the IOF’s war crimes.

He called IOF’s actions a clear attack on the common heritage of humanity, calling for a clear, immediate, and deterrent stance from UNESCO, as the Tehran Times reported.

Trump has called for further escalation. In his latest bizarre rant on Tuesday, Trump said he would wipe out the country unless it opened the straits of Hormuz ahead of a deadline he’d set for 8 pm on 7 April 2026. Trump said on Truth Social:

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?

The whole US administration is either too ignorant to understand the nuclear threat behind Trump’s rant or is just going along with it. JD Vance, seemingly, endorsed Trump’s policies, whatever they may be,  after the expiration of the deadline.

“I hope they make the right response,” says @VP on Iran.

“They’ve got to know, we’ve got tools in our toolkit that we so far haven’t decided to use. @POTUS can decide to use them, and he will decide to use them if the Iranians don’t change their course of conduct.” pic.twitter.com/UUiQ5SdEO5

The IOF and the US are operating without any restraint in their war against Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran, using similar tactics of total war, with no distinction between military and civilian targets.
