Iran said it will target energy facilities across the Gulf after its South Pars gas field was hit. State media reported damage to gas infrastructure in southern Iran. The field, shared with Qatar, is the world’s largest. Tehran named key sites in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar as potential targets. Qatar blamed Israel for the strike, calling it “dangerous and irresponsible.” The warning comes as the conflict widens. Iran also reported attacks on ships in the Gulf and near the Strait of Hormuz. The United States said it struck Iranian missile sites to protect shipping routes. (PC: HT)
