Bahrain says Iran hit a desalination plant, stoking fears of attacks on civilian sites

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Bahrain has accused Iran of striking a desalination plant as the regional war expands with no end in sight. Iran’s president said Sunday his country is responding to pressure with stronger attacks. He threatened more strikes on American targets in the Middle East. Bahrain said the plant attack damaged equipment but didn’t affect supply. Iran said a U.S. strike hit its own desalination plant and cut water for villages. Israel also intensified strikes in Lebanon, where almost 400 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands evacuated. Israel’s military said two soldiers also died in the fighting there.
