Donald Trump has renewed his threat to “blow up” a range of civilian infrastructure in Iran, including all of the country’s desalination plants, in a move that would threaten the water source for millions of people and that experts say would be illegal.
The United States president has been regularly warning Iran about possible US strikes against energy and electricity facilities, but on Monday, he added water stations to the list of targets.
“The United States of America is in serious discussions with A NEW, AND MORE REASONABLE, REGIME to end our Military Operations in Iran,” Trump wrote in a social media post.
“President Trump is threatening to destroy infrastructure — like electrical and water facilities — that is essential for civilian survival,” Shiel told Al Jazeera.
Over the past week, Trump has insisted that Iran is “begging” to make a deal and talks between Washington and Tehran are under way.
This month, Iran accused the US and Israel of striking a desalination plant on Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran, which is less dependent on desalination plants for drinking water than some of its Gulf neighbours, has threatened civilian infrastructure across the region if its own facilities are targeted by the US and Israel. »
