Foreign media reported today: "Bahrain authorities said an Iranian attack damaged a desalination plant, marking a new phase in the conflict targeting water infrastructure. Gulf countries heavily rely on desalination. Qatar is close to 100%, Kuwait and Bahrain around 90%, Oman 86%, and Saudi Arabia 70%. The attack occurred after U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran's Gheshm Island desalination plant."
Comment: The attack on a desalination plant means that the Middle East conflict has escalated from military confrontation to a battle for people's lifelines. Gulf countries have extremely high dependence on desalination. Countries like Qatar and Kuwait almost entirely rely on desalinated water. Once water infrastructure is destroyed, it will not only cause a serious humanitarian crisis but also trigger regional water panic. This approach of attacking infrastructure has crossed the底线 of war, putting ordinary people at survival threats even outside the war zone.
