Desalination plant bombed by the US in another violation of international law

Applegrove: (Wrong photo)

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

It is a Haliburton warehouse in Basra Iraq that was destroyed by an Iranian drone.

I haven't seen a desalination plant but that looked like freight transfer.
I put it into a Google photo search which took me to Reuters, who did caption the photo.
