In a calculated and devastating escalation, Iran has launched fresh missile attacks on major oil refineries in both Israel and Saudi Arabia, further тιԍнтening its grip on global energy supplies. The strategic Bazan refinery in Haifa was hit once again, with mᴀssive fires breaking out across storage tanks and processing units. Simultaneously, Iranian missiles struck key facilities in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, causing significant damage and forcing emergency shutdowns.
The attacks come as Kuwait issued a stark warning of an impending gas supply crunch, stating that continued Iranian strikes on regional energy infrastructure could lead to severe shortages across the Gulf within weeks. Kuwaiti officials described the situation as “extremely critical,” urging immediate international intervention.
The IRGC has claimed full responsibility, framing the strikes as part of “Mojtaba’s Revenge Campaign.” A senior commander declared: “We are systematically dismantling the energy backbone of our enemies. Every refinery that supports aggression against Iran will burn. We still have not used our best and ᴅᴇᴀᴅliest missiles.”
This latest wave of attacks highlights Iran’s strategy of turning the conflict into a full-scale energy war. With Haifa and Saudi facilities ablaze, the cumulative damage to regional oil and gas infrastructure is becoming catastrophic. Retired U.S. General Jack Keane called the situation “a nightmare scenario,” warning that Iran is successfully weaponizing global dependence on Middle Eastern energy.
Global oil prices have reacted with absolute panic, surging past $20,150 per barrel — an unprecedented record — as traders fear prolonged supply disruptions and a deepening global energy crisis. Several countries have already begun emergency contingency planning for fuel rationing.
Is Iran winning the energy war? By repeatedly striking refineries in Israel and Saudi Arabia while Gulf nations issue desperate warnings, Tehran is demonstrating that it can inflict severe economic pain far beyond the battlefield. With the world economy now trembling under record oil prices and no end to the conflict in sight, the international community faces a terrifying question: How much more destruction can the global energy system endure before it collapses?
