Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel’s water comes from desalination plants, and now we’ve given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.
the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they’re gonna live.
Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of War
The decade of war crimes
consequences of letting Israel get away with all their war crimes. they are now normalized.
century*
THe US existed much earlier
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%.
As an Iranian, I hope that Iran can show restraint here. Please do not target desalination plants, and be mindful when attacking power plants in the Gulf region. These countries are extremely weak and fragile, power outages and water shortages could cause massive widespread suffering that I wish upon no-one.
With that said, pipelines in KSA and Azerbaijan should probably get a visit from a 136 as soon as possible.
Looks like the vassal states are abandoning their US masters.
Just as the US is running from every base there.Still illegal, still monstrous.
oh absolutely, it’s a war crime plain and simple
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.
Nobody is invading
Following Israeli war tactics. Hust destroy it all.
Are they trying to invade with the purpose of taking over? I know it sounds stupid, but I consider this all a distraction from the Epstein files. I think they just want to take shots at somebody for a distraction and then leave a mess. It’s the billionaire way.
From a US military perspective, this is actually perfectly in line with standard procedure. Holding ground, especially ground so far away, is costly and difficult. So the new strategy these last 15 years has just been to destroy civic infrastructure and collapse the state. It removes a country’s ability to resist resource extraction, it creates a long-term “frontier” combat zone that’s highly profitable for arms companies, and it serves as a petri dish for incubating new proxy forces to be used later, either as goons or scapegoats (or both).
It removes a country’s ability to resist resource extraction
i’d say resource extraction requires political stability, actually, since mining sites are big and difficult to defend and also immobile, so they can’t just be moved out of the way when there’s danger. and also the long transport lines for minerals are long and therefore difficult to protect.
That low level of stability can be achieved with proxy forces or mercenaries guarding corporate facilities
i don’t think so
Okay
Yup, very well put. The whole “freedom and democracy for the iranian people” speech is just there to keep up appearances, the goal has always been to turn Iran into Libya. Like i havent heard a single mention of Libya in mainstream media in decades.
Fuck off, thousands of people are dead this is not a ‘distraction’ its peoples lives.
You fuck off. I was putting myself in the rapist president’s mindset. Not speaking from my own heart about the totality of the horror of the situation.
It literally is a distraction. And your outrage at that is exactly parent poster’s point.
The Republican Apparatus (and Conservatives around the world, for that matter) have discovered that they can continuously manufacture new outrage to distract from the actual policies they care about.
With the Tea Party, a couple of decades ago, they mastered weaponized wedge issues to distract. (The “War on Terror” was a manufactured war, and that strategy goes back decades.) But they have since escalated to crimes against humanity.
And it’s working. I haven’t seen many headlines about ICE or Epstein recently because the average American is bored of hearing about it.
Meanwhile, they are enacting policies to further concentrate wealth and power amongst the 0.1%.
I haven’t seen many headlines about ICE or Epstein recently because the average American is bored of hearing about it.
Or more burnt out than bored maybe.
It’s clear their plan is to destroy the region and make it a warzone like Libya.
Been saying that for longer than this.
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
Oh that’s because this isn’t a war. I mean come on learn the difference.
Since it isn’t a war there are less rules and we ( the USA) can just do as we please with no repercussions at all. None at all.
Is it a special military operation?
And this nazi genocider bootlicker isn’t the only one.
Shame on the EU too. Mask offThe palestinian genocide made it clear that international law doesn’t apply to USrael.
Fucking shitters. There is no rock bottom.
NATO terrorism knows no depths.
finally the US is safe from Iranian unsalted water! mission accomplished Orange man
“We are going to help Iranians with their water problems which are caused by their governent!”
Bombs desalination plant
Smells Like Trump War Crime
US war crime.
nobody cares what face is in charge of that terrorist country
a bit weird how the beacon of democracy will bomb schoolchildren and water supplies for the population, but the regime terrorists are only striking military facilities and infrastructure so far 🤔
Really makes ya think.
hmmmmmmmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
The strikes against Qatar and UAE are hardly military in purpose though…
Couldn’t be more military.
Took out US radars and equipment and troops and made them run from their bases.
And just now S.Arabia too:Lots of the collateral damage affected plenty of civilians then. I must admit I’ve saw so much about that aspect that I assumed it was intended.
IDK about civilians.
I do know Iran doesn’t target civilians.
But also that the US military nearly completely abandoned their bases in those countries.
They got housed in ‘civilian’ hotels, appartements, etc in those countries.
If you’ve seen so many videos you surely saw the american filming from a flat right? Same happens in ukraine where the news was complaining evil Russia hit a civilian hotel and so many innocent civilians.
While the videos show victims carried away in uniform and 2 days later the ukro army fires the guy responsible for holding a military meeting so close to the frontline. Military using civilian infrastructure makes them a legitimate target.
Iran has very good intel on where they are since the population doesn’t see them as enemies unlike their sell-out governments.
If anything, it’s another warcrime by the US since they shouldn’t put military targets among civilians.
they targeted US bases and equipment in qatar and UAE
Lots of collateral damage then
if the usa didn’t want collateral damage to their allies, they shouldn’t have started a sudden war yet again.
Or put military bases and equipment there to begin with
The usa shouldn’t have started this war, for sure, but that’s a pretty heartless statement.
i wish the world was that just. the attacker is blowing up your water supply and you have the right to defend yourself.
You mean there same country that vaporized two cities’ worth of civilians?
Weak virtue signaling, real chuds know the firebombs were worse.
Yeah, firebombing of Japanese towns and cities was more atrocious given the majority of housing materials. As well easier for the USA to do at that time.
We can already ascertain (I trust certain sources) that the US has likely lost more military personnel than the Iranians, to say nothing of the trade in production (including trade war limits making some hardware functionally irreplacable), cost, depletion of stockpiles, economic leverage of the strikes. They’re really “smoking 'em while they’ve got 'em” since the Mossad network and Starlink strategy collapsed. Seems like they lost hope.
If anything this attack could be one last stab to slow the development of Iran, which is intruding into very high tech industries dominated by the US and western Europe, such as pharmaceuticals and even nuclear fusion in due time.
The west fears having to unleash the power of certified genius women (and men, but it’s much more pronounced how their talents benefit Iranian industrial capacity and affect this war, they are a huge driver of the missile program) the way Iran and China have. Girlbossing and slaying is more about inflating the size of the high value service industry.
The future is bright, actually. Our horizons were limited. I think humanity will become something unrecognizable. One day all people will understand death on their own terms, without metaphor. Do not fear the genius women. Sexual selection is the reason we aren’t scraping bugs out of tree bark. This will be even better.
I want to believe in this so I will
beacon of democracy? when was that? it was always a shitty racist money first country from the beginning
beacon of democracy? when was that?
They should have put that phrase in quotation marks.
Just because the US calls themselves that doesn’t make it true.
The US briefly tried out democracy during Reconstruction but the white terrorists quickly defeated that experiment.
And even weirder that EU condemns Iran’s attacks and not USA’s. Only Spain had some dignity, the rest are crap.
I mean … Good. Fuck Israel. I hope the entire country goes without water. And food. And medicine. And weapons. And electricity. Take the fucking air from their lungs if you can
In a stunning turn of events, Iran reveals rather than nukes they spent decades developing the ultimate WMD, Mega Maid.
Did you misread the title? Or the article?
The article stated that this could set a precedent for Iran to strike Israel’s desalination plants, and it is real relied on desalination for up to 70% of its water
You provided zero context for that quote in the first statement and it looked like you simple were commenting on the title, which of course refers to the current real scenario in which the US and Israel did another war crime.
Uhhh might need to reread that title
It’s understandable to be pissed at Israel for what they do to Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, but just like the critics of this very dick move: killing civilians is not going to solve anything. It just creates more resentment and hate.
killing civilians is not going to solve anything.
Israel has a draft, both genders.
Most israelis support the Gaza genocide.
“Civilians” are a minority over there.When Russia invaded Ukraine, a lot of Russians bought the “special operation to de-nazify Ukraine” narrative. Some still do today.
When the US invaded Iraq, a lot of Americans thought it was to free Iraqis and destroy WMD.
It took the end of WWII for a lot of Germans to realize what was happening in the concentration camps.
Israel is not a special place with people fundamentally different from the rest of the world. People are pretty much the same everywhere, and propaganda works everywhere.
When Russia invaded Ukraine, a lot of Russians bought the “special operation to de-nazify Ukraine” narrative. Some still do today.
A lot of Western media believed it until the day of the invasion.
Iran already had a water shortage, this is pushing a wounded critter into a corner and expecting it to not fight for its life.
Oh they are counting on it fighting for its life. Ideally an audacious “terrorist” strike on some liberal city before midterms.
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.

The economic issues were a direct result of US foreign policy.
In a January 2026 interview at the World Economic Forum and his February testimony before Congress, Scott Bessent took credit for engineering a “dollar shortage” that triggered a currency crisis and mass protests in Iran.
Bessent used phrases such as “Making Iran broke again” and described the resulting economic turmoil as “economic statecraft with no shots fired.”
Through sanctions, the dollar shortage and currency crisis/hyperinflation led to the collapse of one of Iran’s major banks, which led to the protests prior to the war starting.
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.
I was waiting for them to get it, but you know…
