Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel's water comes from desalination plants, and now we've given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

As an Iranian, I hope that Iran can show restraint here. Please do not target desalination plants, and be mindful when attacking power plants in the Gulf region. These countries are extremely weak and fragile, power outages and water shortages could cause massive widespread suffering that I wish upon no-one.

With that said, pipelines in KSA and Azerbaijan should probably get a visit from a 136 as soon as possible.
