Iran Attacks Kuwait Power, Water Plants Fourth Day
Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy said Iran’s attacks on Kuwait’s power generation and water desalination facilities continued for a fourth day, causing fires and damage but with emergency teams able to contain the incidents and begin repairs while some critical obstetric services were temporarily taken offline as a precaution. The attacks affected multiple facilities, with officials noting that most fires had been extinguished and that damage assessments and repair work were underway; the country relies heavily on desalination for drinking water, making continued attacks particularly disruptive. Reports from AP also describe ongoing diplomatic efforts in Pakistan to salvage a previously faltering interim Iran-US deal, even as cross-border strikes persist and the Strait of Hormuz remains a flashpoint, contributing to higher oil prices amid broader geopolitical tensions. The combined developments underscore a multi-day pattern of attacks on civilian infrastructure in Kuwait and heightened regional brinksmanship that complicates negotiations and relief efforts. The situation continues to evolve as authorities work to restore essential services and as international diplomacy attempts to de-escalate tensions.
