Iran War Causes Significant Damage to Gulf Energy Infrastructure

The ongoing Iran–Israel war has inflicted significant damage on Gulf energy infrastructure through missile and drone strikes, affecting dozens of refineries, oil fields, and gas plants—including Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura and Satorp refineries and the UAE's Ruwais refinery—and effectively disrupting traffic through the Strait of Hormuz; a ceasefire was reported on April 7, 2026, but attacks reportedly continued, leaving many facilities' operational status uncertain and posing risks to global energy supply.
