    Above and beyond man.

    Do we know if Iran has struck desalinization plants yet, or just that it will be a part of their further escalation?

      Desalination plants along with oil rigs would be one of the primary targets in my opinion. If plants are hit most countries would run out of water in about 2 weeks, hitting oil rigs would prevent them from further producing what is mostly their only source of income, plus they are dependant on selling oil to purchasing food which they don’t produce much. Roughly 70% of the GCC’s food supply enters through the Strait of Hormuz. This is leverage for the GCC to not go fully into pro-nazionist mode, but it is a double edged sword since Iran mostly has the same weakness but not to such an extent.
