The Pattern: U.S. Has Struck Bridges, Water Reservoirs, a Desalination Plant, a School, Hospitals, and Heritage Sites in Iran — Killing Over 1,700 Civilians Including 254 Children
Fifteen weeks into the Iran war, the pattern of U.S. strikes on civilian infrastructure is undeniable. A precision-guided GBU-39 bomb destroyed drinking water reservoirs, leaving 20,000 without water in 50°C heat. A Tomahawk missile killed 120 schoolchildren at a Minab elementary school — Trump falsely blamed Iran. The B1 bridge in Karaj was cut in half, killing 8 civilians who were picnicking under it during Nowruz. A desalination plant on Qeshm Island was destroyed, cutting water to 30 villages. As of April: 1,701 civilians killed, 254 children, 24 health workers. 763 schools damaged. 334 health facilities damaged, 9 hospitals out of service. Trump threatened to destroy Iran's power plants and said "a whole civilization will die tonight." Amnesty: potentially genocide. Over 100 U.S. legal experts said the strikes "could entail war crimes." The U.S. previously accused Russia of war crimes for doing the same thing to Ukraine's power grid.
