The war began February 28, 2026, with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets, met by Iran's missile and drone retaliation that has killed six U.S. service members, over 1,000 in Iran, and nine in Gulf states. Jiang Xueqin, a YouTube lecturer known as Professor Jiang, accurately predicted Trump's 2024 win and the conflict in 2024 videos, arguing Iran could win by targeting GCC desalination plants—vital for 90% of Kuwait's water, 70% of Saudi Arabia's, and 42-66% of the UAE's. Recent Iranian strikes on Saudi and UAE sites like Aramco facilities and a desalination-linked power plant show the danger, as Gulf nations face extreme water stress and import 80% of their food, potentially forcing allies to push for U.S. withdrawal.

Key Takeaway

A Beijing high school teacher foresaw the U.S. attack on Iran and now points to a hidden vulnerability: the Gulf's fragile desalination plants that keep millions alive.
