Iran already had a water shortage, this is pushing a wounded critter into a corner and expecting it to not fight for its life.
Learning war crimes from their daddy Israel
↔️
The decade of war crimes
consequences of letting Israel get away with all their war crimes. they are now normalized.
Did they mistake it for an elementary school?
That was dumb as fuck wow.
Not that it was every in question in this war but...
Smells Like Trump War Crime
US war crime.
nobody cares what face is in charge of that terrorist country
Attacking desalination plants is not a front the US wants to open. Another horribly idiotic strategic decision by the burger reich. Iran is 3% dependent on desalination, meanwhile US vassals in the region are at 40-90%.
Still illegal, still monstrous.
oh absolutely, it's a war crime plain and simple
Sounds like terrorism.
It's terrorism when you're brown. When you're white, it's a precision strike.
Iran so far has been the adult in the room. I get that a lot of things are fucked up there from economy to freedoms, but boy that's nowhere close to what the US/Palestine occupiers are trying to do to them. I come from a shithole too and I keep shitting on our government for a good reason, but I would definitely prefer them over being holocausted by US/Palestine occupiers.
Iran's issues are literally because of US imperialism. Their economy isn't doing great because of insane illegal sanctions, and their paranoia comes from having been under siege their whole existence. I believe things will get a lot better for Iranians after the aggressors leave the region.
Ah yes, because nothing says "sound military strategy" like depriving civilians of fresh water.
Few acts say "crimes against humanity" better than bombing a country's water supply.
the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're gonna live.
Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of War
"We are going to help Iranians with their water problems which are caused by their governent!"
Bombs desalination plant
Ah yes, desalination plants - the top priority military targets when invading a country to free its people.
Something something Collective Punishment something something Geneva Conventions
Something something white exemption from the Geneva Conventions.
Fucking shitters. There is no rock bottom.
finally the US is safe from Iranian unsalted water! mission accomplished Orange man
This really is our generation's Viet Nam, isn't it?
I think we re-enter the middle east in some capacity every 5-10 years since like desert storm. Its not new. People are just sick of it. It could be weapons, it could be troops. We never really take our hand off the wheel over there.
I thought we arent supposed to hurt civilians in a war according to international laws but yelp it is indirect and also US is above all those things
Conventions on war crimes are a mutual agreement on restraints both parties place on themselves. They work, as long as neither party wants to lose face or support by being the one to break their word, and as long as both parties can afford to.
Trump never gave a shit about keeping his own word, let alone anyone else's.
I'm not sure Iran can afford to keep theirs now.
Every other country in region, Israel included, is much more dependent on desalination for water than Iran as a country. Unclear why they want as many dick moves as possible.
IIUC, on same day Iran apologized for attacking neighbours, this attack was launched from Bahrain, one of the/the most dependent desalination country on earth, that is a rock throw away from Iran.
In response to OPs question. I am really wondering if this the point at which the US, especially under Trump, plays the "blame the Jews" card.
We've been watching the right wing shift towards anti Israel views. The tucker Carlson crowd etc.
Maybe Trump is too demented. But, I feel like his defining characteristic is to be good at "reading the room".
I just don't know where it goes with the evangelical Christians that think this needs to happen to bring back Jesus. That's literally the 20% of people that always agree with Trump. But, honestly, at this point. I think they will follow Trump and the pastors will give them a reason to hate the "the Jews".
I just don't see how Trump gets out of this otherwise.
They (bipartisan USA plus UK, Germany and so on) have zero scruples right now about persecuting the antizionist Jews for opposition against Israel, so when the cannibalising of vassals finally hits Israel they will immediately drop all the pretense and go openly antisemitic.
they will 100% turn against Jews, even all those "I love Israel apartheid and genocide, if you're against it, you're antisemitic and hate jews"
Destroying critical infrastructure like that is a terrible idea. Like, I hate this war, fuck Israel and Trump/GQP but if you're invading somewhere, you don't want that infrastructure damaged/destroyed for your own use.
Following Israeli war tactics. Just destroy it all.
NATO terrorism knows no depths.
