Abstract

The article focuses on the surge in oil and European natural gas prices following Iran's announcement of potential retaliatory strikes on regional energy assets in response to attacks on its upstream industry. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps identified key refining, petrochemical, and natural gas facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar as targets, prompting precautionary evacuations by companies such as Saudi Aramco. The conflict has already disrupted oil and gas production across the Middle East, including the halting of Qatar’s liquefied natural gas output and damage to Iran’s South Pars gas field, a major supply source for Iran and neighboring countries. These developments have heightened concerns about prolonged supply disruptions and increased competition for natural gas in global markets. [Extracted from the article]
