An investigative report by Reuters has revealed that Iran and its allies in the region have carried out at least 135 precise attacks on 84 critical infrastructure sites in Gulf countries since the outbreak of the war. The attacks targeted oil and gas facilities, airports, power plants, and desalination plants, causing a series of breakdowns, widespread economic damage, and disruption of energy supplies. The attacks included targeting vital oil transport systems at the UAE's Port of Fujairah, disrupting operations for weeks, Qatar's Ras Laffan liquefied natural gas facility, and airports in at least four countries. Iran also destroyed a pumping station and damaged two others on a major Saudi pipeline, disrupting a key alternative route to bypass Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The investigation, based on data and sources, reveals a systematic and coordinated campaign aimed at undermining US war aims in the region.
