The city is home to a major nuclear facility believed to hold much of the country’s enriched uranium, making it a strategic target as the U.S. considers sending special forces to secure Iran’s enriched uranium.

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

“If 168 people, overwhelmingly little girls, were killed in a school bombing in #Israel, there is little doubt it would have been plastered all over major newspapers, led nightly broadcasts, and been asked about on the Sunday #News programs. But—as the over 20,000 dead Palestinian #children killed by a #US-backed, Israeli #genocide in #Gaza affirm—Muslim and Arab life is simply not important, their children’s deaths are simply factored in, they’re collateral damage in a noble #War on #Terror, a perhaps regrettable ‘claim’ that’s always ‘being investigated’ but never held to account, much less elevated to moral outrage or sustained #media scandal.”

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack

No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.
