They just landed on a US competitor list. Usually it doesn't end well for countries selling the same fossil fuels if they not already super powers.

It's miniscule on a global scale. This is 2 Tcf of gas. In comparison, Qatar has 800+ Tcf of gas which is why the closure of its LNG terminal is impacting global electricity prices. The US Marcellus shale has more than 2 Tcf of new gas reserves drilled and commercialised each year.

Good, so Europe won't simply change a supplier with another, but actually build a fossil fuel free infrastructure.

I doubt there are very undiscovered gas fields the size of Qatars at this point, if any at all.

How many global governments would fall, if the USA suddenly no longer had the fiat to spread around ?

The discovery of a tiny gas field off the coast of Egypt isn't going to make anyone reliant, not even Egypt itself.

Irans nuclear power , is not the oil. It's the fertilisers they control though the straits. Hole world will go hungry cause of  USA and Israel. For anyone blaming Iranians, I remind you that 2 days ago was threatened with " destruction of civilization" they do what they have to do.

Good. This makes the strait of Hormuz less important and it also takes business away from Russia, Iran and Qatar.
