The ongoing West Asia conflict has entered a dangerous new phase as Iran reportedly struck a desalination plant in Bahrain, a critical civilian facility that supplies freshwater in an arid region heavily reliant on desalinated water. Authorities in Bahrain say the drone attack caused material damage, prompting fears that water infrastructure could become a strategic target in the broader war involving Iran, the United States and Israel.
