Iran has warned countries around the Persian Gulf that energy assets are now 'legitimate targets' after Israel attacked its giant South Pars gas field, sending shockwaves through oil and gas markets.
Facilities in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates are on a list of assets at risk of missile strikes, according to Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Iran shares the South Pars field with Qatar, the latest example of other Middle East countries becoming embroiled in the 19-day war.
Oil prices have soared almost 50% since the US and Israel began the war on Feb. 28, triggering a response from Iran that's seen missiles and drones fired at countries across the Middle East.
