Israel has attacked some of Iran’s most vital oil and gas facilities, raising fears of a widening conflict and threatening turmoil for the energy sector.
Iran’s Ministry of Petroleum said Israel struck a key fuel depot while a oil refinery in the capital Tehran was also in flames as emergency crews scrambled to douse the fires at separate sites.
Israel’s unprecedented and sudden attacks on Iran’s energy facilities are poised to disrupt the oil supplies from the Middle East, and could shake up global fuel prices.
