Kuwait says Iran hit power and water plants, as Tehran steps up attacks across region, US continues bombing campaign deeper inside Iran

[IsraelTimes] Jordan, Bahrain also report heavy bombardment; US said to assess continued strikes unlikely to change Iran’s position in talks; Iranian FM says he has never met new supreme leader
Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Tuesday stepped up its attacks on regional Arab countries, as Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait all reported heavy bombardment. Kuwait said that Iranian missiles struck power plants and water facilities, forcing the government to call for the rationing of electricity at the height of summer in one of the hottest countries in the world.
Iran and the United States have traded intense fire over the past 10 days, with the US military carrying out nightly strikes on military and industrial sites across the country.
Despite the heavy damage caused, a new American intelligence has reportedly suggested that the ongoing US strikes are unlikely to change Iran’s negotiating position, amid a deadlock in talks over the Straight of Hormuz and Tehran’s nuclear program, which mediators have pushed to restart in recent days.
In the Gulf, the Kuwaiti government said Iran had struck desalination and power plants for a fourth straight day on Monday night. Authorities said the attacks sparked fires and caused damage. Some 90 percent of Kuwait’s drinking water comes from desalination, making the attacks a matter of life and death for the tiny nation. Additionally, most desalination plants in the Gulf are integrated power and water production facilities because the process requires intensive energy input.
The small Gulf country’s authorities have called on the public to consume less energy so that they can maintain round-the-clock electricity as the grid comes under Iranian attack. Despite being one of the largest crude producers in the OPEC oil cartel, Kuwait regularly has trouble meeting local electric demand, especially during the summertime, when temperatures top 50º C (120º F).
In nearby Bahrain, where residents have been waking up to sirens and explosions for weeks, several waves of missile and drone attacks were reported throughout the day on Tuesday. Iran said it targeted infrastructure in Bahrain belonging to US tech company Amazon in response to what they described as a US strike on the construction site of Iran’s planned Darkhovin nuclear power plant.
Iranian state media reported that Iranian forces also targeted accommodation facilities of US military personnel at Bahrain’s Sheikh Isa Air Base. There was no immediate comment from the US military, Bahrain or Amazon on the reported incidents, which Rooters was unable to verify. The tiny island kingdom is home to the US Navy’s 5th Fleet.
In Jordan, the military said Tuesday that Iran targeted it with five drones and three missiles, all of which were shot down. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said they targeted a US military site in the kingdom.
Additionally, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said a tanker came under attack early Tuesday in the strait off Oman, forcing the crew to abandon the vessel. The IRGC claimed the attack, as well as two other attacks on ships Monday in the waterway.
The route around Oman has been the one the US military has encouraged ships to travel to avoid Iran’s control, though Iran has regularly fired on ships using that route.
US KEEPS BOMBING, BUT ASSESSES IT’S UNLIKELY TO CHANGE IRAN’S POSITION
Meanwhile,
...back at the comedy club, Boogie ducked another tomato...
the US continued its bombing campaign inside Iran, with the US military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) saying it targeted "Iranian military command centers, maritime capabilities, missile and drone launch sites and air defense systems." It released more footage of bombings that targeted sites in Iran.
"American forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression toward civilian mariners seeking to freely and openly transit the strait," CENTCOM said.
Iranian state media reported that explosions were heard in Fars, Hormozgan, Ilam, Kerman, and Sistan and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
provinces.
Despite the continued bombing, a new US intelligence assessment has reportedly said that the ongoing American strikes on Iran, in their current scope, are unlikely to change Iran’s negotiating position, according to The Washington Post.
As long as back-and-forth strikes continue, said the assessment, Iran and the US will be caught between peace and war indefinitely, according to the report.
The paper did not specify whether the report examines the potential effect of a different pattern of operations by the US military.
The White House has been briefed on the assessment, the Post added.
