My latest from @ProSyn: While the rest of the world is mainly concerned about the energy disruptions caused by the Iran war, the Gulf countries are more anxious about the Islamic Republic’s threats to their desalination facilities. If the US attempts to seize Kharg Island, it could spell disaster for the region's "saltwater kingdoms." Iran’s Water Weapon Against the Gulf by Michael Christopher Low @ProSyn prosyn.org/ZOpBprB

The point about desalination as vital to oil production is important. Historically, desalination (First with coal and steam) came before oil and acted as a midwife to oil production and the demographics and labor required to make it work on a global scale.
without guarantees@tongzhi_mate

Desalination is also vital for the continued production of oil and gas and other infrastructures such as data centers (given these countries positioning themselves within the AI rush), majority of desalination occurs to serve these processes too.

Two water desalination facilities in #Kuwait have been affected by attacks, one impacted this morning. On 29 March, the largest desalination plant, West Doha Power Generation and Desalination Plant was impacted resulting in the tragic loss of one worker and damage to infrastructure. Despite these incidents, water services to the population have remained uninterrupted. Desalination facilities are essential to provide access to public health in Kuwait and the Gulf countries. Damage to desalination facilities jeopardizes hospitals, health‑care services, and the well‑being of the entire population. I urge all parties to exercise the utmost restraint and respect their obligations under international humanitarian law. #ChoosePeace

What began as years of intellectual groundwork has now taken institutional form. We are proud to announce the launch of the Center for Gulf Studies and Global Policy (GSGP) at Ibn Haldun University, the very first center in Türkiye devoted entirely to the Gulf region. More than an organizational milestone, the Center opens a dedicated space for rigorous academic inquiry and forward-looking policy engagement, where the Gulf’s complex entanglements with the wider world can be examined with the depth they deserve. gulf.ihu.edu.tr/en/center-for-…

Kuwait is no stranger to conflict. We’ve endured hardship in the past and will continue to remain steadfast in the face of attacks. Comments to Aljazeera on today’s desalination plant attacks, Iranian denial, and the range of possible culprits alongside Iran.

في تقديمي لمحاضرة ( الفيصل في الذاكرة الشعبية) أشرت إلى معلومة مهمة وهي الأسبقية التاريخية لمركز الملك فيصل @KFCRIS في الاهتمام بالأنثروبولوجيا إذ كان يضم في عام ٢٠١٧م (معهد محمد الفيصل للدراسات الأنثروبولوجية) أي قبل نحو عشر سنوات! وهو حق مكتسب للمركز ينبغي توثيقه. @MOCSaudi
