Exclusive: Iran attack wipes out 17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity for up to five years, QatarEnergy CEO says

Excellent. My energy bill was getting too c**** anyway.

Gas prices ain't ever coming down. Good news is that that seems to be the one thing Americans actually care about so maybe this will get enough of us to wake the f*** up.

And as Pete Hegseth suggested: "Thank you president Trump!"

How that 400 million dollar 747 bribe looking now? 

All this winning. I just can’t cope anymore! Please mr president stop the winning!

Between a lack of fertilizer and fuel, this is going to end up killing a lot of people in the developing world.

Time to invest in renewable

Yep trump and Israel have ended the global economy because Trump needed a distraction from the fact he’s in the Epstein files raping little girls.

Thank you, orange demented guy 🙏

Why would Joe Biden do this?

As wild as it’s been. The Iranians have been pretty restrained. They could have been blowing up a refinery a week and disrupting the existing global hegemony in very serious way. As bad as this is (even ignoring the ecological disaster of blowing up these facilities) I’ve been surprised by how few of these actions they’ve taken. Much of the OPEC oil infrastructure is within their striking range. They have the ability to seriously f*** the world economy. For as much as we talk about how extreme and crazy they are. Their response has been the response of a rational actor. Not a threatened religious zealot with no capacity for logical thinking.

Possibly **6-7** dollar a gallon gas in Florida is predicted if this war continues for another two-three weeks. Attacks like this mean gas prices and oil prices will not only go up but remain high for years, crippling the ability of poor and middle class americans to afford basics like groceries and utilities. Trump and his goons have doomed the world to a crappy depression era economy for at least a decade for no discrenable upside. And now reports that they want to do a land invasion of a well armed and prepared nation with a land area two and half times that of Texas, with enviroments ranging from urban to mountainous, freezing, and sweltering hot deserts. Asking our military to invade such a massive area with a tiny fraction of the numbers needed to actually support such an effort? And with what end goal? The creation of a new regime? The breakup of the country that has a long entrenched sense of national identity? Do these people realize just how insipid and stupid they are to even attempt such a thing? It's literally a long running joke: **Never get involved in a land war in Asia** So terrible economy at home, dying Americans abroad, and the end goal? No one, not even the person who started it knows. We can only hope the people who began this ill-advised atrocity will pay for this at the ballot box. Trump and any Republican who has not disavowed him and his dumb idiotic war. **A vote for a Republican is a vote for more war and higher prices.** That's ***the*** line. IF Democrats cant win this next election in most places by talking about the price of gas alone, they don't deserve to be in public office. (reminder, please block and ignore trolls)

Thank goodness! I was getting so confused about what to do with all this disposable income I have. But now due to the generosity of President Trump I finally can find a home for all these poor unhoused dollars!

I’ve never won this hard in my entire life

Dear Mr. Trump. You can’t bomb an ideology out of existence; even 1.5 million tonnes dropped on Nazi Germany didn’t erase theirs.

welp, if we avoid WW3 Trump may ironically go down as the president who accelerated the fight against Climate Change

That's a massive hit to global energy markets, especially with LNG already tight. Wonder if this pushes countries to finally invest in renewables instead of just talking about it.

Iran published the list of targets and gave hours of notice to evacuate personnel. The US/Israel combined armed forces couldn't thwart the attack. Oh yeah, we're definitely winning.

So much winning it hurts… I apologize to the rest of the world. Enough dipshits were upset about eggs and a laughing woman that we are all stuck with the orange turd.

Glad I bought that heat pump

Guess Qatar's $400m plane "gift" to Trump, and the billions in contacts they gave Kushner and him did not pay out in the end. What kind of a world is it when bribes didn't work anymore?!

It should be fun to see how Trump attempts to blame Biden for all of this...

It's cute that people think this is "temporary" and that energy prices are ever coming back down to what they were. Elections have consequences - and we were all warned.

All this so a pedophile doesn't go to jail.

Damn. Guess it’s expensive to host an army on your soil that is actively attacking your neighbor in a war of aggression. A lesson to all of us to be selective when it comes to allowing other countries to use our own as they please. Every country with an American base should be considering carefully, because they have clearly signaled it’s time for them to go full-Nazi, and I think most of us don’t want to help Nazis.

I bet all our allies in the ME are seriously questioning why they’re our allies right about now. Except one, anyway.

They spent billions on bribes and even sent a jet to Trump and he's stiffed them just like he stiffs everyone. Gotta laugh really, if all bribery schemes ended like this the world would be a more honest place.

In states like California, our electricity is made from natural gas power plants, we will be screwed come summer. I can’t wait to see both my gas price increase and electricity bills rise.

Trump hurting his own supporters is that stupid kind of poetry.

The last Republican to not leave the economy in shambles was Eisenhower, a man whose last words as president were a warning about everything the earth has become. A true RINO through and through. Imagine a republican suggesting building hospitals and schools instead of just bombing shit now.

You buy the US president with a half billion dollar luxury airplane, and then a year later his bumbling foolishness brings a hail of Iranian missiles down on your gas refinery, jeez you just can't find good help nowadays

First thing I did, when the war started was to renew my gas contract and changed it from 12 to 24 months. Let’s see where we are in two years

So the US attacks Iran who is working with Russia. As retaliation Iran attacks Qatar's natural gas making it more expensive and less on the market. Russia can now charge more for its natural gas and since there is demands more countries will buy from them. America first is starting to look more and more like Russia first..

A 17% LNG hit for years isn’t a spike—it’s a structural supply shock that will ripple through global energy prices and economies.

Iran can just keep destroying Qatar's LNG capacity, nothing can stop them.

This is something…it’s crazy how many they are still able to launch. Vast majority of launchers were destroyed? Was that just false, have they been reapplied from other countries, or are the remaining few percentage just able to still cause a lot of harm?

Iran has been attacked many times and always retaliated in relatively moderated ways. Even the few skirmish it started were a little more than a flash in a pan. The way they are waging now, knowing their military inferiority, is scary. They know they can't take either Israel or the US head on, so they are explicitly trying to disrupt the world's economy and fundamental infrastructures to let third parties intervene and help put an end to an unwarranted aggression. Thhe US will lose many allies because of this war, and the world il probsbly tell them to stop at some point. We are collectively losing too much by enabling a nazist state and a fascist one further their agendas.

Gonna be a lot of frozen old people corpses in New England and Upper Michigan next winter when heating becomes a luxury. MAGA

> "I never in my wildest dreams would ⁠have thought that Qatar would be - Qatar and the region - in such an attack, especially from a brotherly Muslim country in the month of Ramadan, attacking us in this way," Kaabi said in an interview. The faux outrage from Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, et all just blows my mind. You let another nation use your lands as staging ground and launching location for missiles bombarding another country. You have defacto struck the first blow against Iran and you want to pretend they are somehow attacking you out of the blue when they strike back? Any reasonable accounting of the facts here will conclude that you started the hostilies here even if it's not your country's military doing the attacking, it's only possible for them to do it because you have chosen to cooperate to let it happen. I mean, f*** Iran, but also f*** these guys.

Europe should partner with china to supercharge its efforts at energy independence. F*** the american empire.

Something to keep in mind: decreasing supply doesn’t mean that prices will rise by 17%. It means that prices will rise until 17% of buyers leave the market. Given that there are a lot of big industries that need constant shipments of gas and oil, and who have deep pockets, they will keep buying regardless of the price. It’s the small businesses and consumers who will be priced out first.

Who knew starting a war every decade is not a good idea.

And this directly impacts food costs. The LNG is a key component in fertilizers. We are so screwed

Everything Trump touches dies.

Imagine if Iran somehow hit the US refineries near Houston. Right now, high prices at least benefit US companies (okay, I just threw up a little). If both companies and people were screwed and the US faced gas and oil shortages, sentiment would get ugly quickly.

Betcha Qatar is regretting giving that jet away.

USA and Israel making Canada great again!

It's getting bloody for the whole world

This will be another huge push for renewables, Trump just accelerated the move to this.

Good. Bring the pain. Teach us a lesson about electing someone who was observably corrupt and moronic.

How’s that bribe working out for them?

Thats f****** Awsome. MAGA will hurt so bad. Also alot of third world countries with US debt who need energy import will default. This will trigger the next financial crisis.

LNG is a vital component of modern fertilizers. Food prices gonna go up again. 

Thanks, Trump, from the Netherlands. I’m sure I’m going to pay for this for years to come. May you rot in hell, you piece of shit.
