The famous Catalpa song celebrates the rescue of six Fenian convicts who were sent to Fremantle Prison for fighting for Irish freedom in Ireland. Evidently the song is still officially banned in WA! It features in the Dancing in Fetters exhibition now at Fremantle Prison.

Two days ago I wrote that the most dangerous signal in this war was not what Iran was hitting but what it was not hitting. Desalination plants. Eight of the ten largest on earth sit on the Arabian Peninsula. One hundred million people drink what they produce. Iran had the coordinates and the capability. It was choosing restraint. The restraint was the weapon. And the hand that held the leash was dead. The leash just snapped. Iran’s Foreign Minister Araghchi posted on X on March 7 that the United States struck a freshwater desalination plant on Qeshm Island with missiles launched from its base in Bahrain. He said water supply to 30 villages was cut. His exact words: “The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.” That sentence is the most dangerous statement issued by any government official since this war began. No independent verification exists. No satellite imagery. No Pentagon confirmation or denial. CNN, BBC, and Reuters report it as an Iranian accusation. The claim is unverified. That does not make it less dangerous. What matters is not whether the strike happened. What matters is that Iran has publicly framed a desalination attack as an American precedent. Precedent is permission. Iran struck a US base in Bahrain within hours, framed as retaliation for the desalination hit. Whether the original strike was real or fabricated, the rhetorical architecture for targeting Gulf water plants is now constructed. The thirty one autonomous IRGC commands possess a publicly articulated rationale for striking desalination facilities anywhere in the Gulf. Kuwait gets 90 percent of its drinking water from desalination. Oman 86 percent. Saudi Arabia 70 percent. The UAE 42 percent. These are not countries with backup rivers. These are not populations with alternative wells. The entire human habitability of the Arabian Peninsula depends on machines that convert seawater into freshwater, running continuously, at massive scale, connected to power grids and intake pipes that are among the softest targets in any military theater. In 1991 Iraq pumped crude oil into Kuwait’s desalination intakes. Recovery took years. The Gulf in 2026 is orders of magnitude more dependent, and the Strait of Hormuz is closed. Emergency tanker imports face the same insurance withdrawal that stopped oil tankers. The redundancy that was supposed to protect water supply depends on shipping lanes that no longer function. Gulf states deployed Patriot batteries around major plants after the accusation. Intake pipes have underwater sensors. Cyber defenses are air gapped. But the defense faces the same arithmetic: 93 percent success across a thousand drones still means 70 impacts. One impact on a military base is absorbable. One impact on a desalination intake shuts down water supply to millions. The restraint is over. The precedent, real or fabricated, is set. And the hundred million people whose survival depends on desalination plants within range of Iranian missiles are now living inside the targeting envelope of a doctrine that just lost its last constraint. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Everyone is watching the oil. Nobody is watching the water. The UAE operates at 1,533% water stress. Saudi Arabia at 974%. Kuwait gets 90% of its drinking water from desalination plants. Oman 86%. Saudi Arabia 70%. There is no aquifer. There is no river. There is no rainfall to speak of. The entire Arabian Peninsula drinks water that is manufactured, using electricity, from the sea. One drone. One plant. Millions without water. That is not speculation. That is what a 2009 US diplomatic cable concluded about Riyadh specifically: destroy the right desalination infrastructure and you could force the evacuation of the Saudi capital within a week. That cable is 17 years old. The dependency has only deepened since. Iran has not hit a desalination plant yet. That restraint is a choice. It is also a card. Here is the strategic geometry Iran is living inside right now. Its navy is gone. Its air force is degraded. Its supreme leader is dead. Its missile rate has dropped 70% as launchers get destroyed. Every conventional military option is being systematically closed. What remains is asymmetric warfare against infrastructure that the entire Gulf coalition cannot function without. You do not need to win an air war to win an asymmetric war. You need to hit the thing your enemy cannot replace on any timeline that matters. Oil can be rerouted. Gas can be replaced. Water in the Arabian desert cannot be improvised. The GCC has built redundancies since this vulnerability was identified. But redundancies are not immunity. And Iran knows exactly where every plant sits. The oil war is being priced. The water war has not even entered the model yet. If it does, this conflict has a second act that makes the first one look contained. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Trump said we had to attack Iran because we can‘t allow it “to have a nuclear weapon.” Really? This is the same president who, in June, said: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated.” Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Another lie. Another war.
