Strikes hit Gulf energy infrastructure
Change
Strikes and counter-strikes across the Middle East have damaged energy assets in Gulf States, including reported serious long-term damage at Qatar's Ras Laffan gas hub.
Why it matters

Oil prices remain above $100 a barrel. The violence is producing civilian casualties, displacement, and rising humanitarian needs.
Implications
- · Reduced operational capacity at affected gas and oil facilities in the Gulf.
