Middle East energy facilities hit by missile and drone strikes
In March 2026, the Middle East entered a dangerous new phase of conflict as energy infrastructure became the primary target for missile and drone strikes.
Following strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, a cycle of retaliation began, targeting critical sites like Qatar’s Ras Laffan, Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura, and various facilities in the UAE, Kuwait, and Iraq.
This escalation challenges the traditional security guarantees provided by the United States, forcing regional powers to rethink their alliances and energy trade strategies.
As Iran threatens the Strait of Hormuz and critical infrastructure, the global economy remains caught in the crossfire.
