القوات الإسرائيلية قد تستهدف منشآت نفطية إيرانية
October 4, 2024 - أشار الرئيس الأميركي جو بايدن إلى أن الولايات المتحدة تناقش إمكانية شن هجوم إسرائيلي على البنية التحتية النفطية الإيرانية رداً على الهجوم الصاروخي الذي شنته طهران في الأول من تشرين الأول (أكتوبر).
Oil analysts and security experts have said Israel could target Iran’s oil refining sites and the Kharg Island oil port, which handles around 90% of the country’s crude exports.
Hitting Iran's petroleum industry would hurt its economy. Such an attack could provoke Iran in turn to strike oil production facilities in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab states. That could send the price of fuel, always a major U.S. campaign issue, soaring before Americans pick a new president and Congress in the Nov 5 elections.
