Iran’s energy minister says the US attack targeting a desalination plant in the Jask region was a clear example of a war crime.

US strikes on a desalination plant have disrupted drinking water supply to 20 villages in southern Iran’s Hormozgan province, according to provincial authorities.

The Foreign Ministry has denounced US military attacks on southern Iran as a “flagrant violation” of the truce agreement.

Iran launched retaliatory operations against US military targets in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait after fresh American strikes on many areas of southern Hormozgan province.

Shortly after the US military launched a fresh act of aggression against Iran early on Thursday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy warned that any vessel approaching the strategic waterway would face decisive action.

Iran's highest operational command unit orders closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz shortly after the launch of fresh American military aggression.

Iran denounces the United States for committing a "calculated war crime" by deliberately targeting civilian water infrastructure in the southern province of Hormozgan.
