~100 million people in Gulf states depend on ~450 desalination plants for drinking water.

Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain are nearly 100% dependent. Saudi Arabia 70%.

Iran has already struck a UAE power station that supplies one of the world's largest desalination plants.

If Saudi Arabia's Jubail plant is damaged, Riyadh, the capital and home to ~8 million people, would have to evacuate within a week.

Water is everything.
