Day 20 of US-Israel war on Iran: energy hubs hit, regional flare-ups
On day 20 of the US-Israel war on Iran, Israel strikes Iran’s South Pars gas field; Iran retaliates against Gulf energy facilities including Ras Laffan in Qatar (with some strikes intercepted in Saudi Arabia and the UAE); Qatar expels Iranian diplomats as tensions rise, and Saudi Arabia/UAE warn of further options. Bahrain reports missiles/drones intercepted; Kuwait foils a Hezbollah-linked terror cell; Lebanon and Iraq see ongoing clashes and displacement. Domestically, US intelligence debates swirl around Tulsi Gabbard’s Senate testimony on Iran, while a 60-day Jones Act shipping waiver aims to ease energy costs amid the turmoil.
