Iran has issued a stark warning that it will show “zero restraint” if its energy infrastructure faces further attacks, escalating tensions in the Middle East conflict. This declaration follows an Israeli strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field—one of the world’s largest energy sites—and Iran’s subsequent retaliatory attacks on Gulf energy facilities, including Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG hub, which knocked out a significant portion of its export capacity and disrupted global markets. The warning underscores Tehran’s readiness to expand its retaliation and adds to mounting concerns over regional conflict spreading and further destabilising global energy supplies.
