    War criminals. The US and Israel somehow have to target civilians and civilian infrastructure.

    Isn’t that a war crime? Is anyone still keeping track?

      It is. No one with the power to do anything about it give a shit.

      it is a war crime and the only people keeping track are the ones that are intentionally not empowered to do anything about it by people committing the war crime.

      Yup, attacking water systems is a violation of the Geneva conventions and a clear unlawful order of which members of the military are compelled to not follow as they are bound by the Geneva Conventions and trained on it.

      Protocol I (Article 54) and Protocol II (Article 15) of the Geneva Conventions prohibit attacking, destroying, or rendering useless objects indispensable to civilian survival, such as drinking water installations, dams, and dykes.

      Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits collective penalties and all measures of intimidation or terrorism. Threatening to cut off electricity and water to an entire population as a means of coercing political compliance clearly constitutes collective punishment.

      Destroying Iran’s electric and water supply is a war crime.

        I can see the problem from here. Trump doesn’t view the “enemy” as “human”.

        See, just use words and everything is now OK.

          Except it’s not just Trump. Everybody in the chain of command is culpable and directly complicit. Every single one.

    Possibly propaganda. The headline and article claims this as a fact, even though the source of the information is mostly Iran’s government.

    Actual wording should be “Iran says US destroys Iran reservoirs…”.
