Trump's Four-Hour Destruction Plan
Trump publicly threatened to destroy Iran's entire infrastructure within a precise four-hour window.
He stated the operation would occur between 12:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. UTC on April 8.

Iran maintains approximately 1,200 major bridges and hundreds of power generation facilities.
Trump insisted the Iranian people would be willing to suffer such strikes in order to have freedom.
Legal and Humanitarian Backlash
Experts told PBS that such strikes could constitute a war crime.
The U.N. Secretary-General's office warned that attacking such infrastructure is banned under international law.

Striking Iran's electricity infrastructure would have little impact on military capabilities.
It would immediately spark a crisis of disease, hunger, and thirst among Iran's 92 million people.
Detained Owner and Brand Fallout
The fire killed at least 33 workers according to the Dhaka Tribune.
Police detained factory owner Faisal Rahman.
Hessen's compliance team had audited the factory in March.

Nasrin Begum escaped by jumping from a second-floor window.

The Bangladesh Garment Workers' Federation called a nationwide strike.
Labour Minister Tahmina Akhter pledged an immediate government investigation.
