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 people in power nearly always win.

It's not just America, it's most powerful groups that are successfully taken over by evil and self-serving people.

The US has a chance to correct, but this is still to be seen. The next big paradigm shift is slated for about four months from now.

The people of the US want this to end if the polls are accurate, but Trump will do anything to retain power. I think he will fail, but we shall see...

That was a joke. The united States hasn't won a major war in living memory.
