US EditionThe Fallout From Israel’s Strikes on Iranian Energy Sites
- Over the weekend, Israel carried out attacks targeting multiple Iranian oil and gas sites, including the South Pars gas field, amid the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
- The strikes followed Israel's Operation Rising Lion, aimed at preemptive attacks on Iranian military and nuclear sites, while Iran retaliated with ballistic missile launches.
- These attacks raised fears of regional escalation and supply disruptions, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy transit hub for Iran’s substantial oil exports primarily to China.
- Oil prices increased by about 11% last week, reaching nearly $75 per barrel, with experts cautioning that if Iran were to block the vital shipping route between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, prices could jump by $8 to $31 per barrel, which might lead to a 20-cent rise in gasoline prices per gallon.
- Analysts and officials warned that escalating conflicts may significantly unsettle worldwide energy supplies and logistics, highlighting the risk that additional attacks may focus on oil infrastructure.
