According to a report from the Daily Mail, Iran launched drone and missile attacks on Kuwait’s vital drinking water and power facilities, escalating tensions in the ongoing Middle East conflict. The strikes came shortly after US forces, under President Donald Trump, inflicted heavy damage on Iranian bridges and airports along the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz.
Kuwait, an oil-rich desert nation heavily dependent on desalination plants that convert seawater from the Gulf into drinking water, faced immediate threats to its essential services. These facilities supply approximately 90 percent of the country’s potable water, making any disruption potentially catastrophic for daily life in the arid region.
Authorities reported that several power-generation units sustained damage during the Iranian assault, though firefighters quickly contained the resulting fires. In the wake of the attack, Kuwaiti officials called on residents to conserve electricity amid peak summer demand, as high temperatures strained the national grid. It remained uncertain whether civilian areas experienced power outages as a direct result.
This marked the first instance of Tehran targeting power infrastructure in its repeated barrages against US Gulf allies since the broader war ignited in late February. Iran has previously directed drone and missile strikes at American bases and partner nations across the region.
Hours before the Kuwait incident, Trump ordered US military strikes on Iranian bridges in coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint carrying one-fifth of the world’s oil supply. Iranian state media described explosions near Qeshm island, with additional reports of projectiles hitting surrounding locations. US forces also engaged a vessel attempting to breach the naval blockade.
“The US has carried out several waves of strikes against Iran over the last week,” the reporting noted, detailing broader American operations against command centers, air defenses, missile capabilities, and coastal facilities. Marines boarded vessels in the Gulf of Oman, redirecting commercial ships and disabling others to enforce the blockade.
Iranian officials reported blasts in Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, site of the country’s main civilian nuclear plant. In retaliation for US actions, Tehran has hit US airbases in Jordan and conducted drone strikes on facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain earlier in the week.
Trump has signaled potential expansion of operations to Iranian power plants and additional bridges if Tehran does not return to negotiations. “Attacks would intensify next week,” he warned in a Fox News interview. Iran, meanwhile, vowed further infrastructure strikes across the region and called on Yemen’s Houthis to prepare actions affecting key shipping lanes.
