EUA discute posibles ataques israelíes contra instalaciones petroleras de Irán

By Jordi Bou

October 4, 2024 - El presidente Joe Biden ha indicado que EUA discute la posibilidad de un ataque israelí contra infraestructura petrolera de Irán como respuesta a la ofensiva con misiles de Teherán el 1 de octubre.

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.
