And let me ask you a different way.

Would you agree it would be a violation of international law to blow up a bunch of civilian infrastructure in Iran because Iran did not agree to open the Strait of Hormuz?

That would be a violation of international humanitarian law if we actually did.

Mr. Ambassador, this was not my question.

Mr. Ambassador, that was not my question.

President Trump threatened

to hit civilian infrastructure if Iran did not open the Strait of Hormuz.

We all know international law.

We know there are some exceptions to the general rule that you shouldn't hit civilian infrastructure.

The enemy is occupying it.

when he was a congress member walls a republican congress member now he's in the trump regime he's the united nations ambassador from the united states here's what he had to say about putin let's play this clip you said that president biden needed to make clear that quote putin is an absolute war criminal unquote do you stand by your statement that putin was an absolute war criminal

I just find it very interesting, Mr. Ambassador, that you called upon the former President Biden in no uncertain terms to condemn Putin as a war criminal.

And you won't call upon President Trump to do the same thing.

As you know, he has refused to do what you called upon President Biden to do.

It's interesting, though, I have to say, Mr. Ambassador, it was a simple question.

I guess you're not asking this president to do what you asked the last president to do.

How do you ensure that this doesn't constitute a war crime, which the UN Secretary General said an attack on energy infrastructure could be?

How do you make sure this is not mass punishment for innocence?

Is he going to bomb a nuclear power plant or is that off the table?

If the point of the sanctions was to stop funding the Russian war machine, why is the administration effectively rewarding Russia now?
