Trump did say he would “obliterate Iran’s power plants" starting with the largest one. The largest ones are (a) the Bushehr nuclear power plant. Under the Geneva Convention & Additional Protocol (1977), Article 56 specifically prohibits attacks on installations containing dangerous forces including nuclear power stations. Making the attack a war crime. Additionally, it powers a desalination plant (also a war crime) and is mainly civilian although being nuclear is under IRGC protection (again making it a war crime). and (b) the Neka power plant, which IS the largest by output and is considered to be mainly civilian. Making it a war crime. I don't believe there have been any talks with Iran and Trump is just trying to find an off ramp We will have to agree to disagree on whether it's a war crime. I believe Trump is saying they are talking to allow him to pause attacks on power stations and save face. In a few days when his deadline expires, we will see what happens. If you're right, he may attack the power stations. If I am right, he definitely won't.
