Why doesn't anyone care that Iran (maybe) did a cyber attack on US water plants?
Without the context of the war and a US strike leaving 10,000 in Iran without water I wouldn't give this much attention either.
But, this fits in with the tit-for-tat restrained but persistent strategy of Iran.
It's a great reason to end the war because it just keeps getting bigger and more and more of the world is being sucked into it.

@futurebird@sauropods.win It can't have been Iran. Trump says it was Minnesota, and he NEVER lies!

@futurebird@sauropods.win If US in its indefinite dumbfuckery destroys Iranian water plants, a) Which would be a warcrime, but Hegseths Department of Warcrimes has no problem with that... b) Iranians will fuck up Saudi and allies desalination plants, which will hurt them more. #iran #epsteinwar

*puts on tinfoil hat* US news media was able to report that the attack was spotted and easily stopped. But, maybe it was more like a shot over the bow than a failure. Would we know if that were the case? I don't think so.
