I'm also starting to hear geopol experts pointing now to the vulnerability of water desalination plants in the region.
If Iran targets these MANY Gulf States will have water shortages as some rely on these plants for up to 60% of their clean drinking water.
Iran is really holding all the cards.
Imo the region needs the US to beg for a ceasefire in only a handful of days.

Water wars are nothing new to the Middle East. Is China's new dam project in Tibet an indicator of water 'blackmail' coming into the picture of Indian-Chinese territrial claims? China has already damned the upper reaches of the Meekong and that situation seems to be benign. It is also worth noting that China has not signed the international water treaty that could have forced it to abide by global norms.

"Le tensioni nel Corno d’Africa rischiano di trasformarsi in un conflitto su vasta scala, con il rischio concreto che la prima “guerra dell’acqua” esploda in una regione che necessita disperatamente di pace e stabilità."

The largest dam removal project in the US is completed a major win for #Indigenous tribes
The #KlamathRiver dams removal project was a significant win for tribal nations on the #Oregon-#California border who for decades have fought to restore the river back to its natural state.
By Rachel Ramirez, CNN
Published Sep 2, 2024"The largest dam removal project in US history is finally complete, after crews last week demolished the last of the four dams on the Klamath River. It’s a significant win for tribal nations on the #OregonCalifornia border who for decades have fought to restore the river back to its natural state.
"The removal of the four hydroelectric dams — #IronGateDam, #CopcoDams 1 and 2, and #JCBoyleDam — allows the region’s iconic #salmon population to swim freely along the Klamath River and its tributaries, which the species have not been able to do for over a century since the dams were built.
"Mark Bransom, chief executive officer of the #KlamathRiverRenewal Corporation, the nonprofit group created to oversee the project, said it was a 'celebratory moment,' as his staff members, conservationists, government officials and tribal members gathered and cheered on the bank of the river near where the largest of the dams, Iron Gate, once stood.
"Federal regulators approved the plan to raze the dams in 2022. The next year, the smallest of the four dams, Copco No. 2, was removed. Crews then began releasing water from the dams’ reservoirs at the beginning of this year, which was necessary before dismantling the last remaining dams.
"The river system has been steeped in controversy: During the recent historic #WesternDrought that dried up the #KlamathBasin, an intense #WaterWar pitted local farmers against #Indigenous tribes, government agencies and conservationists.
"But anxiety turned to joy for the #IndigenousPeople who have lived for centuries among the Klamath and its tributaries.
"'We all came together in the moment with a feeling that ranged from pure joy to anticipation to excitement,' Bransom told CNN. 'For the first time in over 100 years, the river is now back in its historical channel, and I think that was an extraordinarily profound moment for people to actually witness that — the reconnecting of a river.'
"The #Yurok Tribe in Northern California are known as the '#SalmonPeople.' To them, the salmon are sacred species that are central to their culture, diet and ceremonies. As the story goes, the spirit that created the salmon also created humans and without the fish, they would cease to exist."

"General Mobeen", the former spokesman of the #Taliban police command in Kabul, said that he wants wants 20 liters of àdiesel from #Iran for every 10 liters of #water.
According to this Taliban media figure, a lot of water has flowed into Iran in the last 40 years and "Iran owes 75 billion US dollars from z#Afghanistan's water."
The Taliban is trying to blackmail Iran into giving them desperaly needed fuel but IRI regime seems to be preparing to go into war to enforce the old agreement between the 2 countries.This can become the first war between nations over water.
