## Resource

Kuwait’s critical desalination and power plants took a direct hit, sparking fires and threatening the nation’s water supply — a stark warning about how fragile Middle Eastern infrastructure is in the face of conflict and climate change. With most Gulf states relying on a handful of these vital facilities, attacks on them could trigger national crises, as seen in past strikes by Iran and Yemen’s Houthis. Emergency plans are now underway, but the damage underscores a growing vulnerability that’s been known to U.S. and Gulf officials for years — and one that’s only deepening with rising climate risks.
