Iranian officials say overnight US strikes destroyed a desalination facility supplying drinking water to about 10,000 people.

Hamzeh Pour, chief executive of the Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company, said US strikes hit desalination pumps and electrical infrastructure in Bunji village, in Jask, cutting off water supplies to 20 villages.

"The supply of drinking water to 20 villages with a population of approximately 10,000 people has been completely disrupted," Pour was quoted by Iran's Tasnim News Agency as saying.

The US can't even arrest a world renown pedophile rapist that is in every obvious way protecting himself along with countless other pedophile rapists.

Not only that, but there's still a solid third of the American people willing to associate with this disgusting person and his openly corrupt political party.

This country is so fucked right now. Ignorance and cruelty are being praised here. Those who work hardest are ridiculed. The people in power are largely the worst or most useless in society.
