The attacks on energy infrastructure in the Middle East, including the Oman===Duqm port in Oman and the Musaffah terminal, coupled with production halts by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, are causing significant disruptions to global energy supply chains. This escalation of conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel is likely to lead to increased volatility in oil and gas prices and heightened geopolitical risk premiums.

A fuel tank at Oman's Oman===Duqm commercial port was hit by several unmanned aircraft, marking an escalation in regional tensions. This attack occurred on the fourth day of United States-Israeli strikes on Iran, which has responded by targeting neighboring countries. The incident follows Qatar's halt in liquefied natural gas production and Saudi Arabia's suspension of output at its largest refinery, indicating a broader impact on global energy supplies. Major Israeli gas fields are offline, and output in the Iraqi Kurdish region has been shut down due to Iran's continued targeting of infrastructure. Oman, which previously mediated talks between the United States and Iran, has now become a direct target, highlighting the widespread nature of the conflict.
