Iranian envoy says Tehran will not “stand idle’ if Trump follows through on #WarCrime threats

#UN Secretary-General #AntonioGuterres warned the #US that attacking #civilian #infrastructure is banned under #InternationalLaw, his spox said Monday.

A court would need to decide whether such attacks were #WarCrimes, he said.
