Red Cross Warns of Irreversible Consequences in Middle East

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), led by President Mirjana Spoljar, has issued a grave warning regarding the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, stating that it is approaching a "point of no return." The ICRC highlights the potential irreversible consequences of attacks on essential infrastructure, particularly nuclear facilities, which have been targeted in recent escalations. The conflict escalated on February 28 when the United States and Israel began military actions against Iran, prompting retaliatory strikes on Israeli targets, including the southern town of Dimona, home to a nuclear facility.

Spoljar cautioned that attacks on civilian infrastructure amount to war crimes and emphasized the need to adhere to international humanitarian law. The statement follows a backtrack by U.S.

President Donald Trump on threats against Iran's power infrastructure, which he had previously suggested could be targeted. The situation remains tense, with millions of civilians suffering as a result of the ongoing hostilities.
