"Blatant and desperate crime": Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences

Iran's Foreign Minister calls a US strike on a Qeshm Island water facility a "blatant crime," as Trump claims Iranian surrender.

"The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. - Seyed Abbas Araghchi"

Tehran, March 7

Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Saturday condemned the US attack on a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island, stating it's a "blatant and desperate crime" with grave consequences.

In a post on X, Araghchi emphasised that the US has set a dangerous precedent by targeting Iran's infrastructure.

"The U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran," Araghchi posted on X.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore.

In a post on Truth Social, he said, "Iran, which is being beaten to HELL, has apologised and surrendered to its Middle East neighbours, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attacks. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries."

Trump added that Iran would no longer bully the Middle East.

"They have said, "Thank you President Trump." I have said, "You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Meanwhile, Trump welcomed fellow world leaders to the Shield of the Americas Summit in Miami and claimed that the US has been doing "amazing" against Iran.

He said, "I rebuilt the military in my first administration, and now, we're using it. Unfortunately, we have to... We're doing very well in Iran. You see the result... They're bad people. Look at all of the killing they've done over the years--for 47 years. This had to be done."

From an Indian perspective, we know the value of water security. Targeting infrastructure that provides fresh water to villages is a humanitarian disaster in the making. The international community needs to speak up.

Trump's language is so inflammatory and un-presidential. Calling a country "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST" on social media? This is not how world leaders should behave. It undermines global stability.

While Iran's government has its own problematic history, attacking civilian infrastructure sets a dangerous precedent for the whole world. What's next? Power grids? Hospitals? This escalation helps no one.

India has good relations with both nations. We must urge restraint. A full-blown US-Iran war would be catastrophic for global oil prices and stability, directly impacting our economy. Our diplomacy is crucial now.

The foreign minister has a point about the precedent. Once you start targeting essential infrastructure, where does it stop? This isn't about right or wrong anymore; it's about basic rules of engagement being broken.
