Harmful or damaging consequences that cause significant damage or ruin.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Iran, the phrase is heavily associated with the drying of Lake Urmia. Activists use it to describe the 'destructive effects' of poorly planned dams. Teachers often use this phrase to warn students about the 'destructive effects' of cheating or lack of focus on their future. State media and independent outlets both use this phrase frequently when discussing international sanctions (تحریمها). In Dari, the phrase is used similarly, especially in the context of the long-term 'destructive effects' of conflict on infrastructure.
Use with 'جبرانناپذیر'

Don't use for people
Don't call a person 'مخرب' unless they are a 'saboteur' or 'destroyer' in a very specific sense. It's for effects, not personalities.
