Iranian official says US strikes disrupt water supply to 20 villages

Drinking water supply to 20 villages with a population of nearly 10,000 has been disrupted after US strikes damaged water desalination pumps in the coastal Bunji village, in Iran’s Jask county, according to Abdolhamid Hamzehpour, the CEO of the Hormozgan Water and Wastewater Company.
