"On the same day as Rubio's interviews, President Donald Trump threatened to destroy 'all desalinization plants' in Iran, which would threaten crucial water infrastructure for the country and constitute a clear war crime."
The Trump administration has proposed a $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon and $200 billion for war efforts. Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized Iran for spending on weapons instead of its citizens. He suggested that if Iran invested in its people, the country would be vastly different.
