Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said President Donald Trump will be guilty of a “war crime” if he makes good on his angry Truth Social post threatening to go after Iranian civilian infrastructure. On Sunday, Trump took to social media in a furious outburst, demanding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and warning of attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, Blumenthal expressed concerns about “the stark, hard truth” of Iran’s ongoing capabilities after two U.S. aircraft went down during the ongoing war with Iran.

“Here’s what I think the stark, hard truth is: that the Iranians still have the capacity to attack our aircraft,” Blumenthal said. “Despite the claim and the boasting that we have total superiority and control of the airspace, they still have drones and missiles. We have not destroyed completely their capacity. And the really hard truth is that bombing alone can’t accomplish any of President Trump’s objectives here, whether it’s regime change or controlling the enriched uranium, or giving the Iranian people a chance at changing their regime.”. Blumenthal hypothesized that the U.S. could be on the verge of a ground invasion of Iran.
