The war in the Mideast is escalating with strikes on critical infrastructure.
For the first time in the war, Israel has targeted Iranian oil storage facilities in Tehran.
and Iran has attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.
NPR's Daniel Estron reports from Tel Aviv.
This appears to be the first time Israel has targeted a civilian oil facility in Iran.
An Iranian news agency reported at least four tanker drivers were killed.
The Israeli military says Iran made frequent use of that oil storage facility to operate military infrastructure.
Iran's foreign minister said a US air strike damaged an Iranian desalination plant for the first time.
Also for the first time in the Gulf,
a desalination plant in Bahrain was damaged in an Iranian drone attack.
These attacks on energy and water infrastructure are a significant escalation in the war.
The region depends on desalinated seawater for drinking water.
And much of the world relies on oil from the Gulf.

Foreign Minister Wang says armed conflict in the Middle East will only breed hatred.

The law of the jungle must not return and rule the world.
