Iran’s IRGC published a target list tonight before they fired a single shot. Named facilities across three sovereign nations. Told citizens to evacuate. Then launched.
In Qatar, five ballistic missiles were fired at Ras Laffan Industrial City β the world’s largest LNG export terminal. Four were intercepted. One got through. Extensive damage. Fires. No casualties, but production had already been halted.
In Saudi Arabia, air defenses intercepted four ballistic missiles fired toward Riyadh and two more aimed at the country’s eastern region.
Alerts went out across the governorates of Riyadh and Al-Kharj. Explosions were heard near a high-level meeting of Arab and Islamic foreign ministers gathered specifically to find an off-ramp from this conflict. Iran fired missiles at the diplomats trying to stop the war.
In the UAE, air defenses engaged 13 ballistic missiles and 27 drones launched from Iran. Thirteen missiles. Twenty-seven drones. In a single night. Debris from successful intercepts fell near the Habshan gas facility and operations were suspended.
The GCC Secretary-General called it a grave aggression and a flagrant violation of all international laws and norms. Oil hit $110 a barrel. Global LNG prices, already up nearly 50% since the war began, surged further.
Iran framed this as retaliation for Israeli strikes on South Pars. But South Pars is a gas field. Ras Laffan, Riyadh, and Habshan are in countries that have spent three weeks trying to stay out of this war.
Qatar has been begging for de-escalation. The UAE has stayed neutral. Saudi Arabia hosted the peace talks.
Iran’s answer to diplomacy was a ballistic missile barrage aimed at the people hosting the diplomats.
