Proposed Military Strikes on Iranian Civilian Infrastructure

April 6 – April 7, 2026

Where Things Stand

President Trump is threatening to bomb civilian targets in Iran as part of a high-stakes military standoff. These strikes could violate international laws against war crimes and have led Iran to warn of a massive counterattack. Military leaders are now facing pressure from lawmakers to ignore these orders, even as the President uses the threat of force as an ultimatum in foreign policy.
