"Fatima Abbas Johar Hayat, a spokesperson for Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy, stated that the criminal aggression caused serious material damage overnight to two power and water desalination plants, leading to the outage of two electricity-generating units."
"Al Jazeera's Malika Traina referred to the incident as devastating news because water desalination here and across the Gulf is extremely important, with around 90 percent of Kuwait's drinking water coming from these plants."
"The concern here in the region is that if President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu follow through on threats to escalate attacks on Iran, Tehran may retaliate by targeting similar facilities in the Gulf."
"Bahrain's Gulf Petrochemical Industries Co reported that several operational units were subjected to an attack by Iranian drones, while the national oil company, Bapco Energies, confirmed that an oil tank at one of its storage facilities was hit."
Iranian drone attacks have recently targeted Gulf countries, particularly Kuwait and Bahrain, causing significant damage to critical infrastructure such as power and water desalination plants. In Kuwait, two plants were damaged, leading to the outage of electricity-generating units. The attacks have raised concerns about the potential for further escalations in the region, especially if the US and Israel increase their military actions against Iran. Bahrain also reported drone attacks that caused fires at oil facilities, but no casualties were reported.
