00:20After a missile strike hit the world's largest LNG hub, Qatar has responded and the message
00:27is sharp, direct, and escalating. Doha has taken a major diplomatic step against Iran.
00:34Qatar's foreign ministry has ordered Iranian military and security attaches,
00:39along with embassy staff, to leave the country within 24 hours, a rare and powerful diplomatic
00:46move. The decision follows what Qatar calls repeated Iranian attacks, including the latest
00:52strike on Ras La Fon Industrial City, a cornerstone of global energy supply. Qatar has strongly
00:59condemned the strike, calling it a blatant violation of sovereignty and a direct threat
01:05to national security. The language signals rising tensions between the two nations.
01:10Satellite imagery now shows multiple impact points across Ras La Fon, confirming the scale
01:17of damage at the world's largest LNG export facility. This facility is critical. Ras La Fon supplies
01:24nearly 20 percent of global LNG, powering economies across Asia and Europe. The strike comes just
01:31hours after Israel targeted Iran's South Pars gas field, prompting Tehran to warn that Gulf
01:38energy facilities would become legitimate targets. Global markets reacted instantly. Oil prices surged
01:46past $110 per barrel, while LNG markets faced fresh panic over supply disruptions.
01:52With tanker traffic already disrupted in the Strait of Hormuz, the attack deepens fears of a prolonged
01:59energy crisis. Asia and Europe, heavily dependent on LNG, are now on high alert. A strike on the world's
02:08largest LNG hub is not just a military escalation, it is an economic shockwave. This is no longer just
02:16a regional conflict. With energy hubs under attack and diplomatic ties breaking down, the Gulf is entering
02:23a dangerous new phase, and Qatar's response may be just the beginning.
02:27All right, let's see.
