      🇺🇸🇮🇷| Trump takes responsibility for hitting Iran’s freshwater desalination plants

      Trump when asked if US bombed an Iranian desalination plant:

      “They are among the most evil people ever on earth, they cut babies’ heads off, they chop women in half, what they did, take a look at October 7th… if they’re complaining about a desalination plant, we complain about the fact that they shouldn’t be chopping babies’ heads off, okay?"

      Speaking of striking airports, how many US air-bases are still intact enough to launch aircrafts? And how many have been rendered unusable by Iranian strikes?

        No idea beyond that the Iranian announcement that they’ve hit 14 bases heavily.

        It is said (though I have no source to provide right now), that American aircraft launch from Diego Garcia and carriers, bomb at stand-off range (outside the range of Iranian AA), then fly over Arabia, refuel on air, then land in Cyprus (British base), then return back to striking positions with another air refuel. Carriers need to be resupplied at sea or Diego Garcia or bases in East Africa, because their naval bases in the Persian Gulf are too dangerous.
