Israel unleashes war on energy production and new Gulf fury at Iran

Iran launched ballistic missiles at Saudi Arabia's capital and damaged a natural gas facility in Qatar. This was a reprisal for an Israeli strike on Iran's portion of the South Pars gas field, an attack reportedly coordinated with the United States. Gulf states, including the UAE and Qatar, condemned the initial Israeli attack but responded with fury to Iran's retaliation, with Qatar declaring Iranian diplomats persona non grata. The escalating conflict pressures Gulf nations to respond to Iranian aggression, threatening regional stability and global energy security.
