Why did Iran possibly attack Bahrain’s desalination plant?
Because Iran detected that yesterday’s attack on its desalination plant was launched from American HIMARS systems operating out of Bahrain (Jufair base)
However, Iran wants something from these Gulf countries that they simply cannot give: a ban on American military activities against Iran.
This cannot be achieved due to the small size of these countries and the deep, intrinsic ties the United States has established there. American power regarding military operations in these countries is even greater than the local governments’ own political decisions.
The Strait of Hormuz has been closed for 8 days. Everyone thinks this is about oil. This is about what oil becomes. 92% of the world's sulfur comes from refining oil and gas. Close the Strait of Hormuz and you don't just lose 20 million barrels of crude per day. You lose the feedstock for sulfuric acid, the single most produced chemical on Earth. Sulfuric acid is how we extract copper. It's how we extract cobalt. Without it, you can't make transformers, EV batteries, or the substrates inside every data center on the planet. One chemical, made from one feedstock, shipped through one chokepoint. The cascade goes further: Qatar ships 30% of Taiwan's liquefied natural gas through Hormuz. Taiwan has 11 days of reserves left. TSMC, the company that makes 90% of the world's advanced chips, draws 8.9% of Taiwan's total electricity. No gas, no power, no chips. Then food. 33% of the world's nitrogen fertilizer feedstock moves through the Strait. Half of all humans alive today exist because of synthetic nitrogen. Sulfur, semiconductors, food. That makes three supply chains, one 21-nautical-mile chokepoint, and zero domestic alternatives at scale.
There's only 2 countries in the world with illegal unchecked Nuclear Weapons.
North Korea and Israel.
One of these countries has attacked 9 countries in the last 2 years and is committing a genocide.
It isn't North Korea.
Due to the really bad weather, I decided to see if my 83 yr old neighbour needed anything from the local shop.
She did.
So I gave her my list.
No point in both of us going out in this weather.

WATCH: Trump asked, “Where is the UK?”
Starmer raised his hand. Trump called him to the stage, making him think he was going to speak.
Starmer approached the podium. “It’s nice that you’re here,” Trump said, then sent him back, offending Starmer.
