MOSCOW (Sputnik) - International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) President Mirjana Spoljaric Egger on Sunday said that she opposed strikes on civilian infrastructure facilities amid US threats against Iran.
"Any deliberate threats against civilians – in rhetoric and in action – are indefensible, inhumane and devastating for entire populations. We cannot normalize limitless war. We need to bring humanity back into the conversation on conflict. Civilians and the infrastructure they rely on to survive need to be protected," Spoljaric said in an interview with Iran's IRNA news agency, when asked about US President Donald Trump's threat to strike Iranian power plants and bridges announced in April.
On Thursday, Trump threatened Iran with new strikes if Tehran does not sign a deal with the United States soon.
