Roughly 100 million people in the Gulf region rely on desalination plants for their water, there is risk Iran destroying them. And also food suply issues will come pretty soon, because hormuz is either blocked or Iran could attack the ships trying to go there.
We dont get accurate picture from Israel either, i suppose they sensor information ....but ballistic missiles with cluster war heads coming from Iran .
You sound worried. Don't worry so much. Nothing we can do about it whichever way it turns.
Take it from someone that lived with the constant imminent threat of having a nuke dropped on his head every single day of his youth - you can only live on constant red alert for so long, before it takes a serious toll on you, maybe a worse toll than the nuke itself would. It's not worth it.
However long we may live, we still have only a short time on this planet. Too short to get fired up about what might happen half way around the world - unless we are personally planning to go there and get in the middle of the maelstrom.
Worry less, relax more. I learned to relax about nukes by digging into the physics of nuclear weapons, finding out what they would and would not actually do, and how to defend against them. What I found was that a lot of people who knew better were just blowing smoke up my ass to try keeping us constantly riled up. Don't let 'em get you - even now, to this day, there is a lot of BS being thrown out there about the destructive power of nukes, just to keep folks ramped up and frightened.
Right now, Iran is still fighting to survive. they won't hit any desalination plants until they go completely suicidal and stop trying to survive, and decide to just go out with a bang. They are not yet there, and may never be. If they start taking out desalination plants, that along with the cutting off of food supplies to the Gulf States will pretty much guarantee their erasure at the hands of those same Gulf States, who would then be under an existential threat. It would be the last gasp of the Cleric regime before they committed suicide.
Don't fall into their trap. It gives them too much power over you to "guide" your thinking.

People can just see where this can go far too easely , this is not Iraq war...but more much more bigger powder keg .
I am off the ME zone myself so not thinking this as personal danger level , but just thinking possible scenarios , pushing the button is one .
