Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Kill the women and children, destroy the civilian water supply, and starve them into genocide. Only this time he was able to get the compromised American to help.

They carpet bombing, I'm sure it's more than one or two schools. They want to level the cities.

It all boils down to what bibi and pooty want right now because they're writing the script for this with our money. Everyone in this regime, here, is taking orders from those two.

BBC radio a week and I recall their mentioning more than twice, that Tehran was experiencing such a bad water shortage that they were considering evacuating the city as in relocating the entire population. This all in the last few months.

As well as parts of the city to another location because the lack of water was dire due to drought. Their water reserves were less than 10%, as I remember.
