The prosecution alleges: The Domino Effect: In the prosecution's theory, the damage seen in these photos is just the tip of the iceberg. The prosecution alleges: The Hidden Danger: The prosecution urges that the real danger lies in the potential for these strikes to ignite a larger conflict, drawing the US into a war that could have been avoided. The prosecution alleges: Closing Argument: The prosecutor alleges that the evidence is clear: Trump's actions have directly led to this moment of vulnerability. The prosecution alleges: Verdict: The prosecution submits that the jury must hold Trump accountable for the chaos he has unleashed.
