- Qatar reportedly offered Iran gas shutdown during US-Israeli war
Qatar reportedly offered to halt gas production at the Ras Laffan gas field during the US-Israeli war, aiming to disrupt global energy markets if Iran spared the facility. Iran did not commit to avoiding the strike, but Qatar believed an informal understanding was possible. The facility was later attacked by Iran, damaging 20% of its liquefied gas output.
