This war no longer only creeps through front lines. It reaches for everything that keeps states running - gas fields, ports, courts, aid deliveries, markets, entire capitals. What began as a military escalation has long drawn wider circles. And the longer it lasts, the more visible it becomes that the chaos does not end at the edges. It moves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this Wednesday, this logic struck again in several places at once. In Iran, facilities around the massive offshore gas field South Pars were attacked. State media reported fires in Asaluyeh, Bushehr province. Shortly afterward, Iran\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters declared that the attack on fuel, energy and gas infrastructure in the so-called aggressor state was a legitimate right, and that it would respond with force. The tone became even sharper when state television published threats against oil and gas facilities in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates - named were the Saudi Samref refinery, the petrochemical complex in Jubail, a gas field in the Emirates, several facilities in Qatar. Qatar for its part directly blamed Israel for the attack on the shared gas field. A spokesperson for the foreign ministry spoke of a dangerous and irresponsible step and openly warned of consequences for global energy security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
