Israel Strikes World’s Largest Gas Field; Iran Threatens Retaliation

Israel carried out an airstrike on the South Pars gas field—the world’s largest natural gas reserve—shared by Iran and Qatar across the Gulf. The strike has significantly escalated regional tensions.

In response, Iran warned Gulf nations including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar to evacuate their energy infrastructure, signaling the possibility of further escalation.

Meanwhile, Qatar’s foreign minister condemned the attack, describing it as “dangerous and irresponsible,” highlighting growing concern among regional players over the unfolding crisis.
