President Donald Trump has threatened to strike Iran’s power plants and civilian infrastructure if there is no deal reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8pm. This comes amid heightened tensions in the region as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran enters its sixth week. Democratic lawmakers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware have called for the invocation of the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. While the president has previously threatened Iran with escalation, this warning has received widespread condemnation. U. Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Montgomery County, called for removal from office and said that Trump's threats to commit war crimes and genocide against the Iranian people have reached a new low. US. Rep Dwight Evans, D. Dwight Evans and Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pennsylvania, called the president's threats a direct call for war crimes.
