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.

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 🤔
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.

I want to believe in this so I will
Really makes ya think.
hmmmmmmmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
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.
And even weirder that EU condemns Iran’s attacks and not USA’s. Only Spain had some dignity, the rest are crap.
The strikes against Qatar and UAE are hardly military in purpose though…
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.
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.
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.
century*
That’s genuinely some of the most despicable shit
Most despicable so far…
I would question if it’s even top 5 when you take into account the atrocities committed by Amerikkka in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq etc.
Did they mistake it for an elementary school?
Smells Like Trump War Crime
That was dumb as fuck wow.
Not that it was every in question in this war but…
At this point Iran needs to realize this won’t be an occupation, it’s an extermination. They’ll level all the critical infrastructure and watch them suffer.
Sounds like terrorism.
It’s terrorism when you’re brown. When you’re white, it’s a precision strike.
Sparkling terrorism
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
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.
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.
I was waiting for them to get it, but you know…

🧐
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.
I get that a lot of things are fucked up there from economy to freedoms,
Few acts say “crimes against humanity” better than bombing a country’s water supply.
There’s a certain dam in Iraq which could have been targeted at any point during the Iran-Iraq war. Doing so would have guaranteed ended the war in Iran’s favor, killing hundreds of thousands of people in a single act in the process.
Some things are not worth doing. Winning like that is not winning.
Ah yes, because nothing says “sound military strategy” like depriving civilians of fresh water.
Remember that cruelty is the point with this administration
Stealing truckloads of cash from the working class isn’t enough, they need to also see the poor and defenceless suffer needlessly in order to get their kicks.
the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they’re gonna live.
Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of War
Ah yes, desalination plants - the top priority military targets when invading a country to free its people.
