US-Iran Conflict Escalates: Water Supply at Risk as Desalination Plants Threatened

Rajkot: The ongoing war in West Asia has reached an extremely dangerous and destructive turn. US President Donald Trump has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, warning that if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened immediately, the US will destroy Iran's power plants. Iran has also made a shocking counterattack against this aggressive stance of Trump. The Iranian military has openly threatened that if their energy infrastructure is hit, they will target the'desalination plants'( sea water salting plants) of US allies like Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait. This threat has given sleepless nights to the Gulf countries as these plants are considered to be the lifeline of these countries. According to political and military experts, this war is no longer limited to oil or border, but it has directly come to human existence i.e. water. Saudi Arabia is dependent on 86% of these water plants and Kuwaiti drones receive a huge share of these water plants, while these plants depend on drones and drones.
