Amnesty International said in a statement on Monday that any deliberate attack on urban, cultural and historical centers is a war crime.

Iran PressEurope: Amnesty International issued the statement in response to US President Donald Trump's threats to attack Iranian cultural and historical sites.

The statement urged Trump to stop threatening Iran and abide by international law.

This is while recent tweets of the US president to threat Iran to target its cultural sites have met with massive and harsh criticism inside the US and in Iran as well.

The United States President Donald Trump is “a terrorist in a suit”, Iranian Information and Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari-Jahromi tweeted on Sunday.

“Like ISIS, Like Hitler, Like Genghis! They all hate cultures. Trump is a terrorist in a suit. He will learn history very soon that NOBODY can defeat ‘the Great Iranian Nation & Culture’,” Jahromi tweeted.
