US Regime Attacks Iranian Water Infrastructure

This week the US regime bombed Iranian water infrastructure in a flagrant violation of international law.  Press TV reported that US strikes completely destroyed critical water infrastructure in the eastern part of Hormozgan province in southern Iran.

The US struck water supply facilities in Sirik county, targeting the distribution network for at least 10 towns and villages. Consequently, more than 20,000 residents no longer have access to drinking water during the heat of the summer.

Abdolhamid Hamzehpour, the managing director of the Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company said, “The enemy has precisely targeted the infrastructure linked to the daily livelihood and health of the people.”  Hamzehpour also described the bombing as “flagrant terrorism.”

According to The Guardian, US Senator Tim Kaine said, “Iran is one of the most water-challenged countries in the world right now, and we’re in the hottest part of the year where damages to civilian water access are going to have the most acute consequences.”

Under international law, access to safe drinking water and sanitation are fundamental human rights and are essential for humans to survive.  The US government and military need to be held accountable for the war crimes and terrorist attacks that they are engaging in against the Iranian people on behalf of the “Epstein class” and the Israel lobby.  The Iranians are owed reparations for the destruction of their country during this unprovoked war of choice that does not contribute to the “common defense” of the United States.
