18. Correct. According to Iran there has been no contact, either direct or indirect

Iran simply tweeted back a long list of all the power stations they'd obliterate in response, along with maps. And the promise of a new weapon. I'd post links but it's too hit or miss here.

“There are no negotiations underway with the United States.”

“We reject Trump’s claim about ongoing talks, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will not accept any negotiations until its objectives in the war are achieved. Trump’s remarks are a retreat from his earlier threats, but Iran’s position has not changed. As for the Strait of Hormuz, we reaffirm that this passage will remain closed to aggressors.”

Ras Al-Khair Desalination → LARGEST in the world → millions lose water

Shuqaiq Power Plant → southern Saudi grid GONE

Al Kharsaah Power Plant → Qatar grid hit

Ras Laffan C Power + Water → Qatar's lifeline GONE

UAE Taweelah Desalination → one of Gulf's biggest → UAE water supply hit

UAE Barakah Power Plant → UAE's NUCLEAR plant → strike = fallout risk

Bahrain’s Al Dur Power + Water → Bahrain's PRIMARY water source → 60% dependent

North Zour Power Plant → Kuwait's largest → 90% desalination dependent

Aqaba Thermal → Jordan's south grid
Samra Power Plant → 40% of Jordan's total electricity
