South Pars Strike May Have Torched the Whole Gulf

Striking South Pars, the largest gas field on the planet, wasn't just an attack on Iran. South Pars is jointly managed by Iran and Qatar. Israel and the US hit their own Gulf ally's energy backbone. The fallout: • IRGC declared ALL GCC energy infrastructure "direct and legitimate targets" • Aramco evacuated workers from the SAMREF refinery in Yanbu • Iranian hackers already inside Aramco's digital systems • Explosions reported in Riyadh, confirmed by Reuters, AFP, and AP The domino logic here is brutal. Qatar's LNG complex supplies 30% of the world's liquefied natural gas. One successful Iranian strike and Europe's heating supply is gone overnight. Aramco processes 12 million barrels a day. In 2019 a single drone knocked out 5.7 million barrels and spiked oil 15% in one session. You don't evacuate the world's most valuable company over nothing. The IRGC said "coming hours." Not days. Hours. This framing that Israel won a strategic victory looks a lot less convincing when Aramco is pulling workers off the floor right now.
