US ‘attacks’ water desalination plant on Qeshm island

TEHRAN: Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Saturday accused the United States on Saturday of targeting a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island, resulting in water disruption to more than two dozen villages.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi wrote in his post uploaded on post X, “The US committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island.”

The X statement said, “Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran’s infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences,” he further stated, warning that “the US set this precedent, not Iran.”

At the same time, multiple explosions were reported in the state’s capital, Tehran, following the Israeli military’s announcement that it had carried out a new strike.

Several blasts occurred across Tehran, according to local reports, with explosions taking place shortly after the Israeli military said it had launched a fresh wave of attacks.
