They went all out! The U.S. ignored warnings and bombed Iran's nuclear power plant, but in response, Iran struck back with force—clearly escalating its countermeasures! On July 20, according to foreign media reports, Iran attacked the Al-Subiya power station and desalination plant in Kuwait. Iranian missiles precisely hit their targets, triggering fires within the facilities and causing severe damage to multiple power generation units. Foreign media noted this marks the second day of Iran’s attacks on Kuwaiti power stations and desalination plants.
Evidently, the U.S. disregarded Iran’s warnings and targeted facilities including nuclear sites. In response to U.S. aggression, Iran has clearly intensified its retaliatory actions. Video footage shows thick smoke billowing from the power and desalination plants hit by Iranian strikes. This attack is clearly a message to the U.S. and its allies: first, Iran has no sacred targets—it is targeting critical infrastructure. Where it hurts, that’s where it strikes.
Second, Iran is demonstrating unmistakably that it not only includes such vital targets in its strike range, but also possesses precise strike capabilities. By launching attacks on key water and power facilities in Kuwait, Iran is directly warning all Gulf states that assist U.S. military operations: if you provide convenience for American military actions, your country’s critical civilian infrastructure will no longer be safe. Clearly, these consecutive strikes on Kuwaiti facilities are not coincidental—they are carefully chosen by Iran. In short, Iran now no longer fears escalation of the situation.
