Major Attack on Qatar Gas Terminal Causes Global Energy Crisis
卡達天然氣終端站遭重大襲擊引發全球能源危機
Iran launched missile and drone strikes against Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City, the world's largest LNG hub.
伊朗對卡達的拉斯拉凡工業城（全球最大的液化天然氣中心）發動了飛彈與無人機襲擊。
This attack, a direct retaliation for an earlier strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field, caused extensive damage to vital production units.
這場攻擊是針對伊朗南帕斯天然氣田早先遭襲的直接報復，導致重要的生產單元受損嚴重。
Consequently, Qatar faces an estimated 17% reduction in LNG export capacity, with repairs projected to take up to five years.
因此，卡達面臨液化天然氣出口能力預計減少17%的困境，預計修復工作需耗時長達五年。
As a critical supplier, the disruption at Ras Laffan—which accounts for 20% of global LNG supply—has sparked urgent concerns for energy security in Europe and Asia.
作為關鍵供應方，拉斯拉凡（佔全球液化天然氣供應量20%）的中斷，引發了歐洲與亞洲對能源安全的迫切擔憂。
The conflict has since escalated, with Iran targeting further energy infrastructure in the UAE, Kuwait, and Riyadh.
此衝突隨後升級，伊朗將目標對準了阿拉伯聯合大公國、科威特及利雅德更多的能源基礎設施。
This volatile situation underscores the fragility of global energy transit through the Strait of Hormuz.
局勢動盪突顯了全球能源通過荷姆茲海峽運輸的脆弱性。
As Gulf nations condemn the aggression and the U.S. issues warnings, the world watches closely, fearing the long-term economic instability that may follow this unprecedented threat to hydrocarbon exports.
隨著波斯灣國家譴責此侵略行徑，而美國亦發出警告，全世界正密切關注，擔憂此項針對碳氫化合物出口的前所未有威脅，可能隨之引發長期的經濟動盪。
