Iranian missile strike damaged Kuwait's Shuaiba desalination plant, a critical facility supplying 60% of the country's drinking water, exposing infrastructure vulnerability in the Gulf region to military escalation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Water Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building water treatment, storage or resilience tech for the Middle East, your customer's single plant just became a military target. The Gulf now needs distributed, hardened, or mobile desalination capacity - that's your contract.
