❗️NYT investigation raises war crime 'concerns' after US precision strike cuts water to 20,000 people in southern Iran A New York Times visual investigation published on 10 June confirmed that US precision strikes destroyed a drinking water facility near the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off water supplies to more than 20,000 people in the town of Bemani and surrounding villages in southern Iran. The report said satellite imagery, geolocated photographs, and videos from the site indicate that two water storage structures were directly hit, with damage consistent with precision-guided munitions used in US operations near the strait. The Times said it remains unclear whether the United States intentionally targeted the facility or knew the buildings were part of a civilian water distribution system. However, it noted that deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure would constitute a war crime under international law. The investigation also cited evidence suggesting a GBU-39 precision-guided bomb was used in the strike, while a US Central Command spokesman acknowledged awareness of reports regarding damage to the facility but declined to provide further details. According to Iranian officials cited by the Times, the destroyed facilities supplied drinking water to Bemani and nearby villages, forcing authorities to deploy water tankers and emergency measures after the attack.
