Iran’s retaliation is increasingly hitting energy infrastructure across the Middle East, rattling global markets. Chevron Corporation confirmed it was instructed by Israel to temporarily shut the Leviathan gas field, a major offshore project tied to multibillion-dollar exports to Egypt. The company also operates the Tamar field. Meanwhile, a tanker was attacked off Oman’s coast, and drones struck facilities in Qatar’s Ras Laffan and Mesaieed industrial zones. The escalation follows joint U.S.–Israeli strikes that reportedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, triggering missile and drone attacks across Israel and Gulf states.
