The Iran war’s targets are widening into civilian infrastructure as Bahrain accuses Iran of striking a desalination plant. Such plants are crucial for Gulf nations’ drinking water, and for the thousands of travelers now stranded there. Inside Iran, Israeli-struck oil depots smoldered in Tehran after a late-night strike, prompting environmental warnings for citizens. Meanwhile, the U.S. reported another soldier death. Saudi Arabia reported its first deaths in the war, saying a military projectile killed two people of Indian and Bangladeshi nationality. Iran’s president is vowing to expand attacks on U.S. targets across the region on the ninth day of the war.
