Note: Iran’s huge Pars gas field was hit on Wednesday, a major escalation in the U.S.-Israeli war, prompting Tehran to announce it would respond with attacks on oil and gas targets throughout the Gulf.
Oil prices shot up after the attack in a conflict that has already halted shipping from the world’s most important energy-producing region and could now bring lasting damage to its infrastructure. Benchmark Brent crude prices rose around 5% to above $108. Stock markets veered lower.
Qatar, a close U.S. ally which hosts the largest U.S. airbase in the region, blamed the attack on Israel without mentioning any U.S. role. The Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson called it a “dangerous and irresponsible” escalation that put global energy security at risk. The UAE also denounced the attack.
Iran listed an array of prominent regional oil and gas targets belonging to Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, which it said were now “direct and legitimate targets” and should be evacuated at once before it struck them in the coming hours.
We may see crude oil prices may get now 125-130 $ soon which will disturb entire worlds energy supply .
