The war’s unnerving new phase began on Wednesday, when Israel launched an air strike on Iran’s largest natural-gas field, which supplies most of the country’s electricity. This was the first time since the conflict began that Iran’s energy production had been directly targeted. In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned of “uncontrollable consequences” that “could engulf the entire world.” The regime released a list of crucial pieces of oil-and-gas infrastructure throughout the Middle East that are now considered “direct and legitimate targets.” Hours later, Iran launched attacks on Qatar’s Ras Laffan complex, the largest natural-gas-export facility in the world, responsible for about 20 percent of the planet’s liquified natural gas.
