EUA discutem possíveis ataques isarelitas ao petróleo do Irão

By Jordi Bou

October 4, 2024 - O Presidente Joe Biden indicou que os EUA estavam a discutir a possibilidade de um ataque israelita a instalações petrolíferas iranianas como resposta à ofensiva com mísseis de Teerão a 1 de outubro.

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.
