Kuwaiti authorities reported that a power generation and desalination plant was attacked for the second time in two days, according to N12 on Sunday afternoon. The report did not identify the attacker. The first attack on the same facility was attributed to Iran by a source monitoring Arab affairs, as The Zioneer reported earlier.
The story has developed rapidly. At approximately 12:07 Jerusalem, The Zioneer carried an Iranian official's claim of a strike on a desalination plant in Hormozgan, Iran. Simultaneously, ynet reported that a Kuwaiti power and desalination plant had been attacked twice. By 12:07 Jerusalem, the source monitoring Arab affairs reported that the Kuwaiti Energy Ministry confirmed the second attack was Iranian, causing a fire and damage to numerous production units. The Zioneer later published a full bulletin at 14:42 Jerusalem detailing the Iranian attribution for the second attack.
The Zioneer has covered multiple attacks on critical infrastructure across the region, including a US strike on a telecom tower near Sirik in southern Iran, and reports of explosions near the Bushehr nuclear power plant. These incidents underscore a pattern of targeting energy and water infrastructure.
It remains unclear whether Kuwaiti authorities have officially confirmed the Iranian attribution for the second attack. The extent of damage and any casualties have not been released.
