Iran War Escalates as Gulf Energy Sites Struck

Israeli strikes on Iran's South Pars gasfield — the world's largest — triggered Iranian retaliatory missile attacks on Qatar's Ras Laffan LNG terminal and the UAE's Habshan gas facility, marking a sharp escalation of the conflict. Qatar has expelled Iran's military and security attachés in response, and oil prices have surged as global energy markets reel. The USS Gerald R. Ford, a carrier central to US operations, is now sailing to Crete for repairs after sustaining fire damage.
