Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel's water comes from desalination plants, and now we've given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

Hitting critical civilian infrastructure like schools, hospitals and desalination plants are all war crimes. As are double tap strikes where you bomb the same place later to kill aid workers. I imagine Israel asked the US to join in Israels ongoing campaign of war crimes so they dont have to be alone in that. When the US whitewashes its crimes in a few years I suppose Israel will hope to blame the US for all of their years of war crimninaity and sleeze their way out of their own accountability.
