The moment any of the desalination plants in these GCC countries are hit, they will effectively cease to exist as functioning states.
Hal Turner Snap Analysis
If Iran targets either the desalination plants or the energy infrastructure, any hope of a deal to re-open the Strait of Hormuz won't matter at all. Without water, there can't be crews working in the refineries or oil pumping areas, and if the energy infrastructure is hit, there will be NO OIL from the Middle east . . . for years.
The global economy will completely implode within months.
