Water: Iran Limits the West’s Old Practices
In 2017, during the first Trump administration, the US attacked a major dam in Syria. Shortly afterward, they denied it, claiming the reports were crazy, but subsequent investigations confirmed that the Tabqa Dam was attacked by American forces.
A secret US Special Operations unit called Task Force 9 struck the dam with some of the largest conventional bombs in the American arsenal, including at least one BLU-109 bunker-buster bomb. The clear objective was to create a catastrophe in that region of the country.
But that’s not all. In the First Gulf War, bombings destroyed most of Iraq’s desalination plants and water purification centers.
In Libya, NATO bombed a water pipe factory in Brega, claiming that the site was being used as a military depot by Gaddafi’s regime. The destruction compromised the drinking water supply for millions of civilians.
This time, after the bombing of the Iranian desalination plant on Qeshm Island, Iran responded by striking one in Bahrain.
No one talks about attacking water anymore. Both the Americans and the Gulf countries know that Iran is crazy enough to respond in kind. This is the difference in this war.
Iran seems to be teaching some American military leaders their old practices back by imposing limits, and this irritates a lot of people, while another part of the American population simply doesn’t follow the news closely.
A large part of the American black book doesn’t work in Iran because they are just as crazy as some American military leaders, and the retaliations can be disproportionate.
