Iran has launched multiple attacks on Kuwait's power generation and water desalination plants, causing significant damage and prompting emergency responses. The strikes, described as 'criminal' by Kuwaiti officials, have disrupted water supplies for thousands and led to fires at critical facilities. The Iranian military's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for these attacks, which are part of a broader retaliation against U.S. military actions in the region. Reports indicate that around 10,000 people in 20 villages in Iran are affected by water supply disruptions due to U.S. strikes on a desalination plant. Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity has activated emergency plans and urged residents to conserve electricity amid the escalating conflict. The situation remains tense as both nations continue to exchange strikes, raising concerns over regional stability.
