Water War in Gulf? Iran, Bahrain Desalination Plants Targeted Amid Rising Tensions

Описание: A new front may be opening in the ongoing West Asia conflict — water infrastructure.

Desalination plants in Iran and Bahrain reportedly came under attack over the weekend, raising alarm over the security of critical water supplies in the region. After oil and natural gas, water is one of West Asia’s most strategic resources, making desalination facilities vital for millions of people.

For the first time during the ten-day conflict, a Gulf nation reported that Iran had targeted a desalination plant. However, Bahrain’s water authority said the attack did not disrupt water supplies.

Meanwhile, Abbas Araghchi accused the United States of striking a desalination plant on Qeshm Island, saying the move set a dangerous precedent.

The United Arab Emirates denied any involvement in attacks on Iranian water facilities. The Israel Defense Forces also rejected claims of responsibility.

The strikes on desalination infrastructure have heightened fears that water security could become the next battleground in the Gulf region.
