    U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday he’s “not at all” concerned about committing possible war crimes as he again threatened to destroy Iran’s bridges and power plants if Tehran does not meet his Tuesday 8 p.m. ET deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

    Speaking to reporters at the White House, the president refused to say whether any civilian targets would be off-limits.

    Iran on Monday rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal and said it wants a permanent end to the conflict.

    “We only accept an end of the war with guarantees that we won’t be attacked again,” Mojtaba Ferdousi Pour, head of the Iranian diplomatic mission in Cairo, told The Associated Press.

    Israel and the United States carried out a wave of attacks on Iran on Monday, killing more than 25 people. Iran responded with missile fire on Israel and its Gulf Arab neighbors.

    First tell Iran to stop committing war crimes. It targets civilians daily and intentionally. So you say we should be better. No sometimes you need to starve the people to break the leaders. That’s life
