Iranian media reported on Tuesday that an airstrike hit a desalination plant on Qeshm Island, located in the Strait of Hormuz, rendering the facility inoperative. The exact timing of the attack has not yet been confirmed. According to Mohsen Farhadi, a Health Ministry official quoted by the Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA), the plant is completely out of service and cannot be repaired in the short term.

Farhadi stated that until the facility can be restored, water demand in the area will be met through tankers and other desalination plants. Hormozgan’s deputy governor, Ahmad Nafisi, told Mehr News Agency that aside from the initial strike on the Qeshm water purification center early in the conflict, no new attacks have occurred.

The report comes amid broader regional instability, with Iranian outlets linking the incident to the ongoing war that has affected infrastructure and civilian services across the region.
