      If true, and if this was intentional, that’s just a plain and simple war crime. The Geneva Convention prohibits targeting necessary civilian infrastructure, which includes water reservoirs.

    2. I see we’ve moved into the „commit war crimes out in the open“ phase of our descent into fascism.

      “Unfortunately, following this attack, 20,000 residents of the region have lost access to safe drinking water, and with temperatures ranging between 45 (113 degrees Fahrenheit) and 50 degrees Celsius, conditions have become extremely difficult and critical for local inhabitants,” Iran’s state television quoted local water company officials as saying.

      > Iranian state media said on Wednesday

      The South China Morning Post quotes the Iranian state media claiming that the US is evil.

      Call me a skeptic,

      That’s going to be hard to confirm. Iran already had massive drought and reservoir issues to the point of potentially evaluating Tehran. Also, Chinese news quoting Iran State Media sounds like zero trust

      A source other than the “South China Morning Post” would be preferred.

      War crime making those who ordered it and carried it out terrorists by definition

      So war crimes for breakfast because of a helicopter… tell me again how cutting off civilians from drinking water is going to win this war for us?!

      Before the war, it’s been in the news that shifting weather patterns and increasing drought made Iran seriously consider moving their capital elsewhere, so the only thing this is going to punish is the local man, more than any governmental entity.

      As also learned in so many previous wars, bombing the civilian population is only going to strengthen their resolve, it won’t compel them to „submit.“

      Putting on my „armchair general“ hat, but if a nation felt it necessary to attack Iran, frankly that would have been the time to strike; during the move. It likely would have happened after the Ayatollah would have passed by natural means, leaving a (relatively) inexperienced new-ish leader to head what would be a rather tricky, distracting task…. But even that wouldn’t ensure that the operation would be as quick as what happened in Venezuela.

      But we shouldn’t let dear leader he distracted by such petty frivolities like „stratagems“ and „tactics,“ lol I can hear the „TaHt ShIts GaY DooD“ from Hegseth already…

      **1863 re Abraham Lincoln**

      The Lieber Code (a document written to govern the conduct of the Union forces during the American Civil War) as the first example of the codification of the laws of war, named after Francis Lieber (1800-1872), a German-American professor of political science and law at Columbia University, New York, who prepared–on the behalf of President Lincoln–a manual, which was enacted in 1863 for the Union Army of the United States in the American Civil War (1861-1865). This Code was the first legal code with a single set of instructions for forces in the field, governing laws of war and customs of war.

      The 157 articles of the Code were based on the ideas flowing from Enlightenment, as it, for example, stressed that only armed enemies should be attacked, **that unarmed civilians and their property should be respected, and that prisoners and the wounded should be humanely treated**.

      I’m sure this must be a mistake. Maybe they thought it was a school or something.

    14. Cool, so crimes against humanity on top of regular war crimes. Explain to me how the US isn’t a warmongering, terrorist state?

    15. Prestigious-Copy-494 on

      I hope Iran doesn’t hack our power grids or our reservoirs in our drought areas..

    16. Do you want to be guilty of committing war crimes? Because I’m pretty sure that’s a war crime.

      Some additional information from the New York Times

      >Iran’s state broadcaster reported that U.S. military strikes hit water facilities in the south of the country on Wednesday, damaging two concrete tanks and cutting off water supplies for thousands of residents. Video published by IRIB, the state broadcaster, and verified by The New York Times, showed a damaged concrete structure with a collapsed roof in Sirik county in Hormozgan province, on the coast of the Strait of Hormuz.IRIB said that the facility was a water tank. The Times could not independently verify that claim or what caused the damage

      >The two water tanks had a combined capacity of 2.5 million liters, Abdolhamid Hamzehpour, the chief executive of the province’s water company, said in a statement published on its website, adding that they were damaged by missiles. The water company said that the damage took both facilities out of service, cutting off water for 20,000 people in Kuhestak and 10 other villages in the district of Bemani.

      [(1) Iran War Live Updates: Trump Threatens Iran Amid Prolonged Peace Talks; U.S. and Iran Trade Strikes – The New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06/10/world/iran-war-trump-us#drinking-water-facilities-hit-by-strikes-in-iran-state-media-reports)

      The NYT requested comment from US Central Command, but has not yet heard back. The most recent publicly available satellite imagery available to the NYT was from January. It showed the structure near Kuhestak to be intact and on its roof was painted „Water is the pulse of life.“

    18. I hate being an American right now. Our „leaders“ are despicable, less than human, ass hats, and the opposition party is just sitting there with their thumbs up their asses. Hate it so much.

    19. War crime don’t count when you have a trillion dollar “defense” budget.

    20. Yup, this man is definitely going to prison the second he is out of office. That is definitely a war crime

      Nothing says peace president like poisoning the water supply of a country you’re not at war with.
