'Disaster' for Gulf states if Iran targets desalination plants
Iran on Saturday threatened to retaliate by targeting key infrastructure in neighbouring countries if US President Donald Trump follows through on his vow to “obliterate” the Islamic Republic’s power plants amid tensions over a blockage of the Strait of Hormuz. Journalist Hoda Abdel-Hamid, reporting from Doha, warned that such action would be a “disaster” for Gulf countries, noting that an attack on water desalination plants would be especially devastating as these nations depend on them for survival due to the lack of natural freshwater sources.
