CRISIS ALERT: U.S.-Israeli Strikes Hit Iran’s South Pars Gas Field

The ongoing conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States has reached a dangerous new phase, as for the first time, major oil and gas production centers are being directly targeted. A major escalation occurred when U.S. and Israeli forces struck Iran’s South Pars Gas Field, the world’s largest natural gas reserve. This field, shared between Iran and Qatar (where it is known as the North Dome), supplies nearly 70% of Iran’s domestic gas and has the capacity to meet global demand for years. The attack has raised fears of a severe global energy crisis. Reacting strongly, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the strikes, warning that the consequences could spiral out of control and impact the entire world. He stated that such attacks would only deepen the conflict without benefiting the U.S. Meanwhile, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a stern warning, calling the attack a “grave mistake” and vowing a powerful retaliation. It warned that any further strikes could lead to attacks on energy infrastructure across Gulf nations. In retaliation, Iran has already targeted Qatar’s Ras Laffan Gas Facility and Saudi Arabia’s refineries near Riyadh, marking a clear shift toward full-scale energy warfare.
