Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel's water comes from desalination plants, and now we've given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

Every other country in region, Israel included, is much more dependent on desalination for water than Iran as a country. Unclear why they want as many dick moves as possible.

IIUC, on same day Iran apologized for attacking neighbours, this attack was launched from Bahrain, one of the/the most dependent desalination country on earth, that is a rock throw away from Iran.
