Targeting civilian power plants would be a war crime
Trump tonight threatened tonight to destroy Tehran’s power supply if the strait is not opened in 48 hours.
That would be a war crime. No better than Putin.

Was FDR a war criminal?
If you are consistent and condemn both, I will accept your consistent logic.
If you claim claim no comparison, explain.
If you avoid answering (e.g., by falling back on whataboutism), we will know you are just being partisan.
Given that FDR didn't start WWII against Germany and Japan, and that the U.S. took efforts to
conduct risky daylight bombing of critical military and war supporting infrastructure targets...according to the attached discussion of this matter, he'd likely get a "Not Guilty" decision...as for VP and DJT, however, they both started the war with Ukraine and Iran and have the capability to focus only on military related targets, but are failing to do so...and since Trump has launched thousands of attacks on Iran's IRG locations, there should be no need to go after the country's power infrastructure.
As the linked article mentions, it's a question of Proportionality...and Intent. FDR has evidence to justify innocence...DJT...none.

Your premise is wrong, so you'll need a better link as to why daylight bombing. Think Dresden.
Mr. Schmitt has apparently spent his entire career in academia involved in international law, international humanitarian law, use of force issues, and the international law applicable to cyberspace. Quite the warrior. Someone of his ilk passed targeting information including routes and times to the Swiss and you can take a wild ass guess where it went from there, not to mention target restrictions.

FDR/Eisenhower/8th AF...employed Daylight Bombing of Military/Industrial targets...Britain
conducted indiscriminate area bombing at night (e.g. Dresden), which could be considered war crimes.
Trump bombing Iran's civil power infrastructure "Just for Fun" would get him indicted by the International Criminal Court in the Hague. BTW, did you know that Petey Hegseth discarded the Pentagon crew that did its best to help ensure that civilian deaths were minimized...and thus preserve America's moral standing in the world?...Guess DJT is going to have to settle for his FIFA Peace Prize only.
Nice diversion. Dayuight bombing was to improve accuracy

We agree...Daylight Bombing was to improve accuracy...in hitting Military/Industrial targets...
...not indiscriminately carpet bomb civilians and their needed infrastructure for well-being. That mentality evolved into today's Laser/GPS guided munitions.
Trump's unwarranted aggression and willingness to harm civilians is not in keeping with America's moral code...and could end up with him getting an Indictment from the International Criminal Court.
Imagining a Nuremberg redux is now your comfort place?! This is just sad.

Try the International Criminal Court at The Hague.

...and you see George Clooney's wife as the lead prosecutor. Again, this is just pathetic.
I guess that we just have to forget everything that Iran has done, everything that they said that they would do, all of the evidence - including their launching of ICBM's with capabilities that they denied even as recently as a couple of weeks ago. Heh.
What was the mission? The objective? The justification? The legal authority?
Type whatever you nonsense you wish to parrot from cheerleading practice, but the answer to all of the above queries is "none."
Defang the viper that you armed with pallets of cash and appeasement.

It was Iran's Cash that was seized for just such a purpose...i.e. allow us to verify that uranium
enrichment stayed at 3.67% and no plutonium production occurred...and it worked.
