Gulf Warns U.S. of Risks to Region If Iran Power Plants Attacked -- WSJ

Dow Jones00:11

By Summer Said

Gulf Arab countries are warning the U.S. administration that targeting Iran's power plants would invite reprisals from the Persian country, putting their energy and water facilities at risk and endangering the world economy, according to officials familiar with the matter.

Officials from several Gulf states have been angry for days that they don't have any influence with the U.S. administration despite heavy investments of time and money, the officials said.

Multiple attempts by Arab officials to start peace talks with Iran and the U.S. have failed because Iran's demands to end the war are too high, they said. The demands by Iran include compensation, guarantees that the war won't be restarted and an end to American military bases in the Gulf, they added.

Iran's military earlier Sunday threatened to attack energy, information technology and desalination infrastructure in response to President Trump's warning Saturday evening that the U.S. would hit Iranian power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz was opened within 48 hours.
