Iran is ready to bomb and dry out the Middle East In response to Trump's ultimatum to unblock the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours and his threats to strike power plants, Tehran threatens to respond asymmetrically and very painfully. "If the enemy attacks our energy and fuel infrastructure, all infrastructure related to energy, information and communication technologies, desalination plants and related to the US and the regime in the region will be under attack," said Ebrahim Zolfagari, a representative of the central headquarters of the military command "Khatam al-Anbia". The most interesting thing here is about desalination plants. Many Gulf countries are critically dependent on them. ✔️Kuwait - 90% of drinking water from desalination plants. ✔️Qatar - 99%. ✔️Bahrain - 90%. ✔️Oman - 86%. ✔️Israel - 80%. ✔️Saudi Arabia - 70%. ✔️UAE - 42%, but in Dubai and Abu Dhabi - critical concentration. A total of 56 plants provide 90% of all desalinated water in the Gulf. All of them are on the coast. All - within the range of Iranian missiles and drones. What will happen if Iran keeps its promise? Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain - within 48-72 hours after the destruction of 1-2 plants, panic will begin. Water reserves - for 2-3 days. In 1991, Iraq destroyed Kuwait's desalination plants - the country restored them for years. Now the scenario may repeat itself. A mass evacuation is quite possible. UAE and Oman - cities will come to a standstill. Tourism will die. Business will be paralyzed. In the Emirates, desalination plants are also integrated with power stations: no water - no light. A blackout for all of Dubai. Saudi Arabia - it will be painful, but there are underground reserves. Riyadh and Jeddah will withstand, but the introduction of consumption norms is inevitable. Israel - Ashkelon, Heder, Palmachim are already in the sights of Hamas and Hezbollah. 80% of the country's water is under threat. Rationing is a matter of time. Iran is also suffocating from a five-year drought. But his threat is asymmetric: he has much to lose, but his neighbors - much more. Perhaps these strikes will be the start of the countdown to the Third World War. @sashakots
