This incident, which threatens to impact electricity generation for both nations due to their reliance on this resource, has been condemned by international leaders like Qatar who highlighted its vital role globally while Israel threatened further action if Iran did not cease attacks in June 2025
An Israeli attack on Iran-South Pars gas fields has triggered threats from Tehran to retaliate against energy facilities across the region, including those in Qatar, UAE, Iraq, and potentially global majors. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned of uncontrollable consequences as oil prices remain above $106 per barrel amid fears that regional exports could be disrupted by further retaliatory strikes on infrastructure like Saudi Arabia's Samref Refinery.
