QatarEnergy said Monday that it had halted liquefied natural gas production due to attacks by Iran on its operating facilities.

QatarEnergy is one of the world’s largest providers of LNG. About 20% of global LNG exports come from the Gulf, primarily Qatar, and are shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, according to energy consulting firm Kpler.

Qatar’s Defense Ministry said earlier that two drones launched from Iran had struck facilities in the country.

QatarEnergy said the attack hit its facilities at Ras Laffan Industrial City and Mesaieed Industrial City. There were no casualties, the Defense Ministry said.

1. shithole and Bibi didn't think about this?......................

were they so sure that Iran's government would be weaken to the extent it's people would rise against them? Did they not realize bombing schools full of students and staff would not have consequences?

Still bombing Iran, hopefully not residential, business, or schools, and I hate to say it "but reminds me of what Russia is doing to Ukraine".
