Desalination plant hit as US-Iran strikes widen across the Gulf
Escalating US-Iran strikes have damaged critical water and power infrastructure in Iran and Kuwait. A US strike hit a desalination plant in Bonji, disrupting drinking water for about 10,000 people in 20 Iranian villages, while Iran attacked Kuwaiti energy facilities, prompting talk of civilian hardship amid a scorching heatwave. Both sides pressed on with strikes against military targets, the Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint, and Tehran says it is suspending parts of prior commitments as the ceasefire framework collapses.
