Gulf Energy and Infrastructure

After Israeli airstrikes that hit about 30 fuel depots around Tehran — producing massive fires, thick smoke over the capital and reported civilian casualties — the U.S. formally asked Israel to halt further strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and to provide advance notice of any future oil‑facility attacks. Washington argued such strikes harm ordinary Iranians, risk spooking global oil markets and could provoke retaliatory attacks on Gulf energy and other civilian infrastructure amid a widening regional fight that has included attacks on desalination plants.
