Iranian officials say overnight US strikes destroyed a desalination facility supplying drinking water to about 10,000 people.

Hamzeh Pour, chief executive of the Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company, said US strikes hit desalination pumps and electrical infrastructure in Bunji village, in Jask, cutting off water supplies to 20 villages.

"The supply of drinking water to 20 villages with a population of approximately 10,000 people has been completely disrupted," Pour was quoted by Iran's Tasnim News Agency as saying.

They’ll nuke the planet before ever allowing that.

I guess we will know what would have happened if the Nazis had nukes

Is this true? I just read another news item that reported Iran had targeted Kuwait's desalination plant. It is said the first casualty of war is truth.

Seems the plant is not in Kuwait, but in Iran. Kuwait confirmed the attack and is a u.s. ally. OP is a bot perhaps

We haven't even begun to see the suffering this war is going to cause.

Fuck.

It’s almost like… there are no winners in war.
