Targeting of Energy Facilities Turned Iran War into Worst‑Case Scenario for Gulf States
- •Geopolitical conflict escalated with direct strikes on critical energy infrastructure in Iran (Asaluyeh gas complex, 4 plants damaged), signaling a "worst-case scenario" for Gulf States and implying significant regional energy supply disruption.
- •Expect immediate and severe upward pressure on natural gas and potentially oil prices globally due to supply uncertainty from a major producing region, directly impacting fuel costs for gas-fired generation and overall energy market stability.
- •Increased geopolitical risk premium will affect financing costs for new energy projects, while driving a renewed focus on energy supply chain resilience, diversification, and robust hedging strategies for IPPs and large power consumers.
