In March 2026, tensions escalated between Iran and Israel, leading to attacks on energy infrastructure. The conflict began after Israel targeted Iran's South Pars gasfield. In response, Iran struck an Israeli oil refinery in Haifa and other regional energy facilities, including Qatar's Ras Laffan gas facility, potentially reducing Qatar's LNG export capacity by 17%. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran used limited force and threatened intensified strikes with "zero restraint" if its energy sites are targeted again. The attacks have raised concerns about potential disruptions to global energy supplies, particularly in Europe and Asia.
