Iran attacks could knock out 17% of Qatar's LNG exports for up to five years | The National

QatarEnergy's CEO says repairs could take 3-5 years, costing roughly $20 billion annually and possibly leading to force majeure on contracts with big buyers in Europe and Asia. This has escalated regional tensions, with strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure already pushing oil and gas prices higher and raising concerns about supply security for critical resources like helium. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/energy/2026/03/19/iran-attacks-could-knock-out-fifth-of-qatars-lng-exports-for-up-to-five-years/
