The claim came as #Iran fired on targets across the region, setting Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi #oil refinery one fire. The state-run #Kuwait Petroleum Corp said firefighters were working to control several blazes there.

Kuwait also said that an Iranian attack caused “material damage” to a #desalination plant. Such plants are responsible for most of the #DrinkingWater for Gulf states, & they have become a major target in the #war.

Kind of fun, I mean not happy in sad historical circumstances, but still funny, to watch old timey war hardons turn into frustrated Russian war bloggers in real time. Having said that, they do have useful information and I think you should watch. #Iranwar #boomer #Trump #Warblogger #hormuz #desalination #toll #shipping #AWACS #Iran #USA

Leave it to the dangerous ignorance of Trump to threaten to attack Iran's #desalination plants (of which they have almost none) while ignoring the actual vulnerability of the Gulf country's desalination plants (to which they are completely dependent).
Oh, and such attacks are a war crime.

Blowing up and completely obliterating #desalination plants.

An open announcement of war crimes, directly targeting the civilian population of #Iran.

»we will conclude our lovely “stay” in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!)«

Trump again threatens widespread destruction in Iran if a deal is not reached soon

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening widespread destruction of Iran’s energy resources and other vital infrastructure, potentially including desalination plants that supply drinking water. Trump leveled the threats Monday, saying the U.S. would strike if a deal to end the war is not reached “shortly.” Iran, meanwhile, struck a key water and electrical plant in Kuwait, and an oil refinery in Israel came under attack. A drone hit a Kuwaiti oil tanker in Dubai waters, causing a fire. Israel and the U.S. launched a new wave of strikes on Iran, as the war raged with no end in sight.
