Qatar Warns Energy Majors of Israel-Iran Conflict Risk

Facing rising concerns over Israel’s airstrikes on Iran and their impact on global energy supply, Qatar convened emergency talks with major energy companies. The discussions, held on June 20, centered on the potential disruptions to the shared Iran-Qatar gas field. Doha urged firms to alert U.S., U.K., and European governments to assess exposure and risks to LNG exports and pipeline flows. While QatarEnergy has not given an official comment, regional sources stressed that stable gas deliveries are crucial amid heightened military activity. Analysts warn even limited damage could ripple through global energy markets, sending gas and power prices upward. Officials emphasized the importance of preemptive risk planning to avoid supply shocks, affirming Qatar’s role as a reliable energy partner.
