After Israel attacked Iran's 'South Pars', which is considered the world's largest natural gas reserve, Iran has retaliated by attacking Qatar's Ras Laffan industrial area . This has caused great damage to Qatar.
Qatar's state-owned petroleum company has issued a statement saying that Wednesday's missile attack caused a fire at the main gas plant and caused great damage. In response, Qatar has also expelled two Iranian diplomats.
After the attack on South Pars, Iran has threatened to carry out more destructive attacks on other energy centers in the Gulf region and warned of a strong response to any attack on its energy sector.
According to Reuters, Iran's Revolutionary Guards have issued a statement to Iranian media saying, "We want to warn you again that you have made a big mistake by attacking the energy infrastructure of the Islamic Republic."
He further said, "You have made a big mistake by attacking the energy infrastructure of the Islamic Republic. If this is repeated, the attack will not stop until the energy infrastructure of your ally is completely destroyed.’
The Israeli military has not commented on the South Pars attack. But US officials have said Washington was aware of it and that the US was not involved.
Saudi Arabia also said it had shot down a drone targeting energy infrastructure in its eastern region. The remains of a ballistic missile fell near an energy processing plant south of Riyadh.
Oil prices, already high due to the disruption of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, have soared after yesterday’s attack.
