US Emboldened to Target Iran’s Civilian Infrastructure Amid Global Disregard for International Law

According to Sara Segneri, a seasoned international law expert, the widespread lack of accountability for international actors who engage in acts of aggression or attacks on civilian infrastructure has inadvertently granted the United States a free pass to pursue similar actions in Iran.

Segneri noted that the prevailing culture of impunity leaves victims with limited recourse when seeking justice, predicting that the disregard for the laws of war will persist unless drastic measures are taken.

“It’s deeply concerning to see prominent figures like Trump and Hegseth openly pledge to push Iran back into a bygone era, targeting civilian infrastructure and even revisiting the targeting of schools,” Segneri observed. “As this trend continues, it’s alarming that the US is launching strikes on civilian infrastructure without demonstrating any consideration for proportionality or strategic gain.”

Segneri also emphasized that Iran’s targeting of civilian infrastructure in response would not be justified, as committing war crimes does not provide a legitimate reason for the other side to do the same.
