Kuwaiti power and desalination plants hit Iranian attack damages Kuwait power and desalination plant, kills worker
Kuwaiti authorities say Indian worker killed in attack that also caused ‘significant material damage’ to building.
An Iranian attack on a power and water desalination plant in Kuwait has killed one Indian worker and damaged a building at the site, according to Kuwaiti authorities, as regional tensions heighten amid the United States-Israeli war on Iran.
“A service building at a power and water desalination plant was attacked as part of the Iranian aggression against the State of Kuwait, resulting in the death of an Indian worker and significant material damage to the building,” Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity said in a statement on Monday.
Technical and emergency response teams were immediately sent to the site to deal with the aftermath of the attack and ensure the normal continuation of operations, it added.
There was no official comment from Iran, where state media quoted the Kuwaiti ministry as saying that there was extensive damage at the plant as a result of the attack.
Reporting from Kuwait City, Al Jazeera’s Malik Traina said Kuwait has been subjected to repeated attacks since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran more than a month ago.
“Just yesterday evening, the Defence Ministry said that 14 missiles and 12 drones were detected in Kuwaiti airspace, and several of those drones were targeting a military camp, where 10 servicemen were injured,” he said. “They have since been taken to the hospital and have received medical treatment.”
Regional escalations have continued to spike since the start of the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, which have killed more than 2,000 people – including former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, several other top officials and at least 216 children, according to Iranian authorities – and destroyed critical infrastructure.
Iranian forces have hit back with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel and regional countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure.
Iran has also effectively blocked the Strait of Hormuz, through which some 20 percent of global oil and liquefied natural gas passes, in a move that has driven up energy prices and rattled financial markets.
Oh that looks really fun :D
Trump wants to “move on” from his war of choice. Tony Soprano would sympathize.

I read the news the other day — oh, boy — and came across something that’s been nagging at me ever since. It was a piece from Jake Traylor at MS NOW (née MSNBC). Trump, it seems, is bored with his war of choice:
>Trump calling the war already won is “mostly hyperbole,” said a senior White House official granted anonymity to speak candidly about the administration’s thinking. “It’s part [of Trump] just wanting to declare victory and move on.”
>That impulse, the official said, has become more pronounced in recent days.
“[Trump] is getting a little bored with Iran,” the official said. “Not that he regrets it or something — he’s just bored and wants to move on.”
A second White House official who was granted anonymity for the same reason said that Trump has begun to “move on” from the conflict and has started shifting conversations and personal focus toward the economy, domestic issues and the upcoming midterm elections.
The White House’s public communications have suggested a similar detachment, presenting the conflict less as an ongoing war with human lives at stake and more as a cultural moment that generates online content.
This is decadence beyond all comprehension. The president launched an unnecessary and legally dubious war on a whim, without seriously considering its likely consequences.
And now that this colossally stupid gambit is going as poorly as anyone with even a superficial understanding of the issue would predict, he’s decided the whole thing is just, like, y’know, so boring. So whatever. 1

So they could have satellite and insider intel within the bases? Could we be looking at moles and spies in saudi military? That said, we could be looking at sabotage or really dumb aircraft operators that are landing these expensive aircrafts (1) within range of Iranians, (2) a base without hangers for vehicles that large and important.
I haven’t done the fascist playthrough, but I heard Kim ends that quest by telling you that you’re fucking stupid, which is good enough
Is it though? That’s like a fascist complaining their partner is a dumb kind of fascist.
spies are worse!
Also, cops are always a voyeuristic entry into everyone’s world, because they are tolerated. Similar to private eyes. Cops and Private eyes are a mechanism for engaging in a mystery storyline.
The RT video is incredible…
The United States doesn’t leave this war without such losses in readiness that they are gonna have to make do with capitulation in every future engagement.
That’s really the whole gist of it. They just don’t want to admit it
Cheaper than sending their men and women to die
But the trading also reflects the market’s dependence on an administration known for quickly changing course. The situation could get a lot worse in Iran, but also could quickly get a lot better, and many investors feel they need to be prepared for both scenarios.
This is a paragraph in a Nytimes article - Stocks Slide to 5th Weekly Loss as Investors Lose Patience With Iran War
One can easily check against all known facts to see which way things are gonna go, given this administration.
That’s why it’s the audiobook for me! Lmao
The missile gap was true lol
I have a book I’ve been slowly making my way through where the nazi party supporters turned sour when he went to war and fucked things up for Germany. Which is really funny all things considered.
Do we have a “I’m ejaculating” emoji?
