Iran is actively attacking Gulf desalination/water infrastructure (Kuwait's plants damaged), which trends toward Saudi plants being hit next, but no Saudi plant has been attacked and no Saudi fresh-water crisis is reported, so the specific event remains unsettled while the war window stays open. · Source: Kuwait’s Desalination Attack Shows The Gulf’s Civilian Infrastructure Is Now A Front Line - Fanack Water (Mon, 06 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT)
