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, desalination plants - the top priority military targets when invading a country to free its people.

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.
Looks like the vassal states are abandoning their US masters.
Just as the US is running from every base there.
The decade of war crimes
consequences of letting Israel get away with all their war crimes. they are now normalized.

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.
He is actively hoping for retaliatory action from literally anyone so he can justify calling for martial law and suspending the constitution.
and the democratic party establishment will actively oppose him, saying "just wait and see until you lift martial law, we'll vote you out so bad, and then keep sending money and weapons to israel just like you did".

Hitting critical civilian infrastructure like schools, hospitals and desalination plants are all war crimes. As are double tap strikes where you bomb the same place later to kill aid workers. I imagine Israel asked the US to join in Israels ongoing campaign of war crimes so they dont have to be alone in that. When the US whitewashes its crimes in a few years I suppose Israel will hope to blame the US for all of their years of war crimninaity and sleeze their way out of their own accountability.
Fucking shitters. There is no rock bottom.
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
The palestinian genocide made it clear that international law doesn't apply to USrael.
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.

"We are going to help Iranians with their water problems which are caused by their governent!"
Bombs desalination plant
the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're gonna live.
Pete Hegseth, US Secretary of War
finally the US is safe from Iranian unsalted water! mission accomplished Orange man
Iran, contact me if you're ever somehow able to start targeting the US mainland.
I'll adjust your fire.
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.
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"
