On Sunday, Iran conducted a series of strikes on critical infrastructure across the Gulf, targeting facilities in the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait. The attacks were reportedly in retaliation for ongoing US and Israeli military operations that began in late February. In the UAE, a petrochemical plant in Ruwais Industrial City experienced a fire due to debris from intercepted missiles, though no injuries were reported. Meanwhile, in Bahrain, a drone strike ignited a fire at a storage tank, which was quickly extinguished. Kuwait's electricity and water ministry reported damage to two power and desalination plants, leading to the shutdown of generating units. These incidents have heightened concerns over the security of desalination plants, which are vital for the water supply in the region. Gulf states have strongly denied Iran's allegations that they are facilitating US military actions from their territories.
