🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 On the topic of attacks on freshwater supply:

Today Iranian FM Araghchi said that the Epstein Coalition attacked the freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm and warned that the criminal move could have “grave consequences.”

Water infrastructure is an extremely sensitive target in the region. Israel receives roughly 75–86% of its potable water from desalination and aims to reach about 90% of total supply. Five major Mediterranean plants produce around 600–700 million cubic meters per year.

The Gulf states are even more dependent. Saudi Arabia gets about 70% of its drinking water from desalination, producing roughly 5 billion cubic meters annually. In the UAE, desalination provides about 42% of total water supply and more than 90% of potable water. Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain rely on desalination for roughly 70–90% of their water.

Iran is in a very different position. The country produces roughly 120 million cubic meters of desalinated water annually out of total water use near 100 billion cubic meters, meaning well under 1% nationally. Desalination is concentrated mainly along the southern coast, especially in Hormozgan province, while around 90% of Iran’s water consumption is tied to agriculture.

In other words, Iran has limited dependence on desalination. Israel and the Gulf states do not.

This could get really ugly.
