AFP The conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel escalated sharply Friday, with hostilities spreading across the Gulf and raising fears of a sustained disruption to global energy markets. Iran launched a wave of missile and drone strikes targeting critical oil and gas infrastructure in Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, signaling a shift toward economic warfare aimed at energy supply chains. The widening scope of attacks has heightened concerns that the conflict is evolving into a broader regional war with global economic consequences.
