Qatar says Iran attack caused ‘extensive damage’ at Ras Laffan gas facility
Iran launched missile strikes on Qatar's Ras Laffan industrial complex, home to the world's largest LNG facility. Qatar reported "extensive damage" to the facility and declared Unsanction Iranian Oil Already On the Water, Bessent Says">Iranian embassy officials persona non grata. Natural gas prices surged over 20-25% as traders assessed the impact on global supply.
The strikes represent a major supply shock to global LNG markets at a time when energy security is already fragile. The 25% price spike reflects genuine concerns about prolonged disruptions to one of the world's most important energy export facilities.
The attack marks a significant escalation in regional tensions, with Iran directly targeting critical infrastructure of a Gulf neighbor. Qatar's decision to expel Iranian diplomats suggests this wasn't an accident or miscalculation but a deliberate act of aggression.
