Iran’s semi-official news agency posted photos of a drinking water reservoir that officials said was destroyed in a missile strike, as well as images of munition fragments that experts believe are from a US-made bomb.

US Strikes Against Iran

The US launched strikes against Iran on Tuesday in response to Iran downing a US helicopter. It’s unclear if the water tank was hit in those attacks. US Central Command spokesperson Capt. Timothy Hawkins said the command was aware of reports and looking into the situation.

Water facilities are protected under the Geneva Convention. In March, US President Donald Trump floated the idea of the US attacking Iran’s water desalinization plants in a social media post. The threat raised widespread alarm among America’s Gulf allies.

According to the Iranian Tasnim news agency, the reservoirs served at least 20,000 Iranians. The photos published by Mehr show only the smaller of the two tanks, which has its roof caved in and is surrounded by debris.

US Bomb Remains

Experts told CNN that the munitions shown in the image released by the Mehr news agency appeared to be from a GBU-39 series bomb, a precision-guided munition produced in the United States. Israel and some Gulf states also have the bomb in their arsenals.
