The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) rejected false claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that Iran intended to attack regional desalination facilities, saying such allegations are aimed at distorting facts and justifying hostile actions.

In a statement issued Monday, the IRGC said it has never targeted water infrastructure and that, in contrast, U.S. Forces have already struck five water‑related sites, including a desalination plant on Iran’s Qeshm Island. It also described Washington’s charge as part of a broader campaign to distract from its own attacks that have endangered civilians and vital services.
The statement condemned U.S. threats to strike Iran’s power plants, calling such actions inhumane because they would disrupt essential services such as hospitals, rescue operations, and water networks. It warned that any assault on Iran’s electricity facilities would result in a reciprocal response.
Iran will retaliate proportionally and strike the power stations of the Israeli regime, those of regional countries supplying U.S. bases, as well as economic and energy infrastructure linked to the United States, the statement said.
Reaffirming Iran’s deterrence policy, the IRGC stressed that it is determined to respond to any threat at the level necessary to maintain deterrence. It added that U.S. leaders do not understand Iran’s capabilities and would realize them on the ground.
