Kathmandu. Israel, in cooperation with the United States, carried out a major attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field on Wednesday. It is the world’s largest gas field. <\/p>\n
Iran has been enraged by the attack and has threatened to launch a major attack on oil and gas fields in the Gulf region. Iran has threatened to target five energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar in the next few hours. Oil and gas prices have skyrocketed since the invasion and Iran’s subsequent threats. <\/p>\n
According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, the price of oil has reached about $ 110 per barrel. Brent crude, the global benchmark, is trading at $109.91 a barrel. This is 5 percent more than the previous day. <\/p>\n
Iran’s petrochemical complex at the South Pars gas field has been targeted, the Iranian news agency reported. Britain’s benchmark gas price also rose by 6 per cent to 143.53 pence per therme. However, it has since fallen below 140 pence. <\/p>\n
According to international media, the attack targeted key infrastructure in Asaluyeh, a major hub of Iran’s energy sector. This indicates that there have been several explosions. However, the extent of the damage is not yet clear. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
