tRump's approach to punishing Iran's civilian population runs directly counter to the Geneva Conventions.

AI overview:
President Donald Trump’s explicit threats to destroy non-military Iranian infrastructure—such as civilian power grids, water supplies, and bridges—have triggered widespread condemnation from international legal experts, who state that executing these threats would violate the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law

Refusing illegal orders:

All members of the military have the right, and in some cases have the duty, to refuse illegal orders. Your oath is to the Constitution (which incorporates international treaties ratified by the U.S. on human rights and the law of war), not to the Commander-In-Chief or to any other individual in the chain of command.
