Timothy Snyder: If we are destroying desalination plants & setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes

Iranâ€™s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Two Bluesky posts he reposted:

The oil depots in Sohanak, northeast of Tehran, Iran, are severely struck. Videos are showing massive fires all over the place.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehranâ€™s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the cityâ€™s sewers.

This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

I believe it is as true as the claim the USS Lincoln was hit by Iranian missiles, leaving it aflame or sunk.

Israel is common knowledge and Israel does not care about media coverage. MBS requested this and Drumpf delivered. Neither Israel, Drumpf nor Saudi Arabia care about Gaza or human life.
