US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the Iranian leadership, describing them as the most evil entities on Earth at present. These sharp remarks came in the context of escalating reactions to the growing military tensions between Washington and Tehran, with Trump accusing the Iranian side of committing horrific crimes including abusing women and killing children.
In statements made from aboard the presidential plane, Trump downplayed Iranian protests regarding the targeting of civilian infrastructure, specifically a desalination plant. The US President affirmed that he pays no attention to Tehran's complaints about water facilities at a time when the world faces the reality of brutal Iranian practices targeting innocent people, as he put it.
For his part, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi directly accused the United States of committing a desperate and blatant crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Araqchi considered Washington to be the one that set the rules for targeting vital facilities, warning of the repercussions of this escalation on regional security and stability.
Regarding the humanitarian catastrophe that occurred at a primary girls' school and resulted in the deaths of 175 children, Trump categorically denied the involvement of US forces in the attack. The US President went further by accusing Tehran of deliberately bombing the school, considering that the Iranian regime is trying to pin the blame on Washington to cover up its crimes against its people.
On the military front, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth affirmed that investigations are still ongoing to determine the circumstances of the targeting of the school and other civilian facilities. Hegseth stressed in his statements that the American military doctrine does not target civilians, claiming that the only party that practices systematic killing against the defenseless in this confrontation is the Iranian side.
Despite official denials, media sources quoted American officials as suggesting that US forces may actually be responsible for the deadly attack on the girls' school in southern Iran on Saturday. The sources indicated that military investigators are reviewing aerial operation records, confirming that the final results have not yet been decided despite strong indications of a grave military error.
In the context of international reactions, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights intervened in the crisis, demanding the necessity of a transparent and independent investigation into the incident. The Commissioner's spokesperson said that the responsibility for the investigation lies directly with the forces that carried out the attack, warning that if Washington's involvement is proven, this incident will be among the deadliest in the history of American operations in the Middle East.
I know nothing about the desalination plant, they complain about a water plant and we complain about the fact that children should not be beheaded.
