Any military action by the US or israel on Iran's nuclear sites may cause a water crisis that could leave gulf countries without water in as little as three days, according to a warning from Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani.
 
The remark was made by Al-Thani on Friday, march 7, during an interview with Tucker Carlson, a right-wing television personality in the United States.  When questioned about how an attack on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant would affect the water body between iran and Qatar, Al-Thani said that the high degree of water contamination would be an environmental catastrophe.


"There would be total contamination of the water...  He emphasized that the situation will affect Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and other gulf nations in addition to Qatar, saying, "The entire country would run out of water in three days."
 
He warned that any military action would lead to the extinction of all life in the absence of water and marine life.
 
On the same day, US President donald trump said he had written to ali Khamenei, the supreme Leader of iran, offering talks to create a new agreement to manage Tehran's quickly developing nuclear program.


Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister, responded to AFP by saying that although iran is still willing to negotiate with other negotiators under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), it will not speak with the united states directly as long as the current "maximum pressure" economic sanctions and threats are in place.
 
"We will not enter any direct negotiations with the U.S. while they continue this policy," Araghchi stated.  Nonetheless, we are in negotiations with the other JCPOA members, china and Russia, as well as the three european nations.  We think that these conversations may ultimately lead to something constructive."


According to several intelligence assessments, US intelligence sources warned that israel might launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear program by midyear in an attempt to take advantage of what they perceive to be Iran's vulnerability, as reported by The Washington Post on february 12.
