The Iranian military’s operational command, Khatam Al-Anbiya, has issued a statement asserting that Israel was responsible for what it described as an attack on the Kuwaiti water facility.
According to a report by Times of Israel, on Monday March 30, 2026, Iran’s military has blamed Israel for a strike on a desalination plant in Kuwait, making the accusation without presenting any supporting evidence to back it.
“The brutal aggression by the Israeli regime against Kuwait’s desalination plant, carried out in recent hours under the pretext of accusing the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sign of the vileness and depravity of the Zionist occupiers,” the statement read.
The language used by Iran’s military command was sharply condemnatory, framing the alleged strike as an act of deliberate aggression by Israeli forces against civilian infrastructure in a neighboring Arab state.
Tehran also appeared to suggest that the attack was intended to shift blame onto Iran itself.
No independent verification of the claims has emerged, and neither Kuwait nor Israel has issued an immediate public response to the allegations at the time of the statement. It remains unclear whether any damage was sustained at the facility or whether the attack described by Iran actually occurred.
The accusation adds another layer of tension to an already volatile regional landscape, where accusations between Iran and Israel frequently escalate through state media channels in the absence of direct diplomatic communication between the two countries.
Iran and Israel have no formal diplomatic relations and have long been engaged in a shadow conflict spanning multiple countries across the Middle East. Allegations of covert strikes on infrastructure, military assets, and strategic targets have been a recurring feature of the ongoing hostilities.
The Iranian military’s statement did not clarify when the alleged attack took place, what the extent of any damage was, or how Tehran came to attribute the strike to Israel
