Kuwaiti officials confirmed on Saturday that Iranian forces struck a secondary electricity and water distillation facility. This incident marks the second consecutive day of such hostilities, forcing the temporary shutdown of several power generation units.
According to an official statement from the Ministry of Electricity and Water, the assault triggered a fire within one of the facility’s components. This development follows a period of heightened regional tension that began on February 28, when Israel and the United States conducted strikes against Iran, resulting in the death of its supreme leader. That event ignited a conflict that has significantly disrupted global markets and caused oil prices to spike.
Amidst the ongoing four-week war, the US president has urged Tehran to pursue diplomatic solutions before the situation deteriorates further, though Iran has rejected these calls for negotiation. Meanwhile, regional media coverage remains difficult, as authorities in several nations have placed stringent limitations on journalists, restricting access to sensitive sites and prohibiting the documentation of missile or drone activity.
