As feared, a Kuwaiti power and desalination plant has been struck again. The infrastructure wars have unleashed “ecological terror.”
The repeated Iranian attacks to #Kuwait’s power and #desalination plants are cruel and criminal.
The current US government’s unsteadiness and disdain for the rules-based-order makes the world increasingly dangerous for smaller states.

Once again, a desalination plant in Kuwait has been struck. An immediate deescalation is needed to stop the spiral of infrastructural attacks between the US, Israel, and Iran. These are clear violations of international law.
I spoke to France 24 (@en.france24.bsky.social) about desalination and “ecological terror” in the Gulf.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do
🚨Breaking News from US officials: Everything is under control. Iran is on the verge of unconditional surrender. Ships may proceed through the Strait of Hormuz.🚨
My interview with @sciam.bsky.social and @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social on desalination, environmental risk, Iran, and war in the Gulf.
I spoke to @lapresse.ca about desalination and the war in the Gulf.
« C’est assez asymétrique : les usines de dessalement représentent une petite portion de la tarte en Iran, alors que pour les pays du Golfe, c’est une inquiétude absolument existentielle », dit M. Low.
My latest... desalination plants and nuclear targets... the escalation continues.
