snip-"DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel renewed its assault on southern Lebanon early Sunday and Iran struck a desalination plant in Bahrain as the war entered its ninth day, expanding the conflict to new types of targets across the region.

Such infrastructure is critical for drinking water supplies in the parched deserts of the Gulf. The strike came after Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a U.S. airstrike damaged an Iranian desalination plant on Qeshm Island, warning that in doing so “the U.S. set this precedent, not Iran.”

The U.S. military has not acknowledged a strike on the plant."
