U.S. military strikes in southern Iran have disrupted drinking water supplies for more than 10,000 residents along the coast. Official sources reported on Saturday that the attacks damaged a desalination plant in the Jask coastal region, impacting around 20 villages.

The U.S. military stated its targets were in southern Iran, aiming to reduce the country's capacity to launch attacks on the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iranian residents and journalists on social media described the strikes as hitting civilian facilities, including bridges, roads, and vital infrastructure.

The United States has expanded its operations, targeting more bridges and energy facilities. The U.S. also reportedly struck a tower in a major Iranian port, fulfilling President Donald Trump's threats to pressure Tehran over its control of the crucial waterway for global energy supplies.
