Qatar warns global energy shockwaves from Iran war have yet to peak

Qatari Deputy Prime Minister Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani warned that the global energy effects of the US-Israel war on Iran have yet to peak. Speaking at the Global Security Forum in Doha, he cited the risk of further disruption to energy supplies, international trade and economic growth as instability continues in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian strikes damaged facilities at Qatar’s Ras Laffan industrial complex in March, and repairs are expected to take several years. Al Thani opposed charging transit fees in the strait and said Qatar had continued communicating with Tehran.
