Airports, Data Centers, Skyscrapers, & Power Plants: Are Desalination Plants Next Targets In U.S.-Iran War
Airports, Data Centers, Skyscrapers, & Power Plants: Are Desalination Plants Next Targets In U.S.-Iran War
"I think it's fair to say this is a third Gulf war, isn't it?" Economist defense editor Shashank Joshi wrote on X.

, an increasingly uncomfortable reality is beginning to emerge: civilian and commercial targets do not appear to be off limits.

Bloomberg commodity analyst Javier Blas wrote on X, "A lot of attention about 'soft targets' like hotels and airports. And about oil/gas facilities."
"But please keep an eye on what may prove the most strategic asset for Persian Gulf countries: water desalination plants," Blas warned.
US-IRAN WAR: A lot of attention about "soft targets" like hotels and airports. And about oil / gas facilities.
But please keep an eye on what may prove the most strategic asset for Persian Gulf countries: water desalination plants.
— Javier Blas (@JavierBlas) twitter.com/JavierBlas/status/…
Desalination plants are critical infrastructure for many Gulf states because almost all freshwater in the region comes from either desalinating seawater or pumping deep aquifers. The highest dependence on these plants includes 90% in Kuwait, 86% in Oman, 70% in Saudi Arabia, and 42% in the UAE, coming from desalination.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Power plants are not off limits.
👀 Qatar's defense ministry says Iran targeted a power plant and a facility at its main LNG production site
Another sign (after the Ras Tanura attack in Saudi earlier) that Iran now seems to be aiming at critical infrastructure and energy-export facilities in the Gulf t.co/HWc8qs0lKB
— Gregg Carlstrom (@glcarlstrom) twitter.com/glcarlstrom/status…
Under international humanitarian law, attacks may only be directed at military targets, not civilians or civilian objects as such. But as shown above, the IRGC's targeting has proved otherwise.
Perhaps that's why some Gulf states that have been on the fence about the war have chosen to join forces with the U.S. and Israel.
🚨 BREAKING: QATAR JOINS WAR AGAINST IRAN
Qatar’s Ministry of Defense says its air force shot down two Iranian SU-24 fighter jets, intercepted 7 ballistic missiles, and downed 5 drones launched from Iran.
All threats were destroyed before reaching their targets. t.co/6WchzsFmWv
— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) twitter.com/Breaking911/status…
So if major desalination plants, or the transmission systems tied to them, were knocked offline in wartime, the result could quickly become a humanitarian emergency, especially in dense coastal cities. Let's hope Blas did not give the IRGC any ideas on X.

But now, every post I make has no previews. The animations begin to present one on screen, but then cancel themselves, and then the post goes out with no preview for anyone, so far as I can tell
