"Secretary of State Marco Rubio turned his back and walked away on Monday as he was asked by a reporter in Washington DC if the US would be committing war crimes if it carried out Trump's latest threats to Iran. "Does the US operation constitute war crimes, Mr Secretary, if you wipe out a civilisation?" a journalist asked as Rubio ushered New Zealand's Foreign Minister Winston Peters away from the press. It come after Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, warning it would be sent back to the 'Stone Ages' if no agreement was reached by Tuesday, April 7 at 8:00 PM ET. On Monday, Trump escalated his rhetoric further, writing on social media that a "whole civilisation will die tonight, never to be brought back again." "We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end," he added. It follows joint military operations launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28. Tehran responded with strikes targeting Israeli and US assets across the region, with the conflict expanding to include Hezbollah in Lebanon. "
