00:27A massive escalation in the gold
00:29The world's largest LNG hub is now under attack
00:33Iranian missiles have struck Qatar's Ras Lafon Industrial City
00:38triggering fires at one of the most critical energy sites on the planet
00:42Ras Lafon, responsible for nearly 20% of global LNG supply
00:47has suffered what officials describe as extensive damage
00:51This is a direct hit on the world's energy lifeline
00:55Qatari authorities say at least one missile penetrated defenses
00:59while several others were intercepted before impact
01:02But the one that got through was enough to ignite a fire inside the complex
01:07Hours after the initial strike, a second attack hit the facility
01:11worsening the situation and triggering further flames
01:15Emergency teams rushed to contain the blaze across the sprawling industrial zone
01:20The site had already been evacuated preventing casualties
01:23but the infrastructure damage could be severe
01:26Production had been halted earlier this month after previous attacks
01:30Ras Lafon is not just a plant
01:33It is a massive industrial city spanning nearly 300 square kilometers
01:38housing LNG trains, storage units and refineries
01:42The strike comes just hours after Israel targeted Iran's South Pars gas field
01:47Prompting Tehran to warn that Gulf energy facilities would become legitimate targets
01:52Global markets reacted instantly
01:55Oil prices surged past $110 per barrel
01:59While LNG markets faced fresh panic over supply disruptions
02:04With tanker traffic already disrupted in the Strait of Hormuz
02:07The attack deepens fears of a prolonged energy crisis
02:11Asia and Europe, heavily dependent on LNG, are now on high alert
02:16A strike on the world's largest LNG hub is not just a military escalation
02:22It is an economic shockwave
02:24From oil prices to global supply chains
02:27The impact of this attack could be felt far beyond the Gulf
