The Digest:
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris has accused President Donald Trump of threatening to commit war crimes over his ultimatum to Iran. Harris wrote on X: "The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a 'whole civilization' — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making."
