Iranian state-aligned media accused the United States of deliberately striking reservoirs that supplied drinking water to 10 villages in the Sirik area of Hormozgan Province, calling the attack a violation of international law and a war crime. The allegation is reported via Iranian channels and is not independently verified; the US has not commented.
The accusation, published by Iranian state-aligned media and carried by The Jerusalem Post in an early-morning bulletin (03:24 Jerusalem), marks the latest in a series of Iranian allegations against the United States since the outbreak of strikes between the two countries.
As The Zioneer has reported, Iran's Foreign Ministry and IRGC have made repeated claims of US attacks on civilian and economic targets — including water facilities, commercial ships, and nuclear sites — over the past week. The Sirik water infrastructure claim follows an earlier similar assertion made by the Hormozgan governor's office on June 10, which accused US forces of bombing a civilian water facility and destroying two tanks.
This specific allegation targets the Sirik area, a coastal district in Hormozgan Province. The claim cites reservoirs that served 10 villages. No independent confirmation, satellite imagery, or US response has been published. The timing — shortly before 03:24 Jerusalem — and the sourcing through Iranian state media mean the report should be treated as a single-source allegation until corroborated.
