ICRC President Condemns US Threats to Strike Iranian Civilian Infrastructure
Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), has strongly condemned potential US military strikes on civilian infrastructure in Iran. In an interview with Iran's IRNA news agency, she described deliberate threats against civilians and their essential survival infrastructure as indefensible and inhumane. Her statement comes amid heightened tensions following US President Donald Trump's recent threats to target Iranian power plants and bridges if Tehran fails to sign a deal with Washington. The region has experienced significant volatility since February 28, when the United States and Israel began striking targets in Iran. Although a two-week ceasefire was announced on April 7, subsequent talks in Islamabad ended without a breakthrough. While no new hostilities have been reported, the US has implemented a blockade on Iranian ports, and mediators are currently attempting to organize a new round of negotiations. Spoljaric emphasized the urgent need to bring humanity back into conflict discussions and protect civilians from the devastating effects of limitless war.
