Israel says it did not hit desalination plant in Iran
Israel’s military denied on Sunday that it had hit or targeted a desalination plant in Iran, after earlier reports and Iranian statements about damage to a water facility on Qeshm Island.
The denial comes after Iranian officials said a desalination plant on Qeshm had been struck, disrupting water supplies.
On Saturday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a US attack had struck a freshwater desalination facility on the island, saying, “Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The US set this precedent, not Iran.”
Local officials in Hormozgan said the disruption to water supply in some rural parts of Qeshm had since been resolved and that water supply on the island was now stable.
