Boom! Boom! Boom! Iran has taken a tough approach, and this time Iran directly bombed the oil storage tanks in Fujairah, UAE. On March 6th, according to foreign media reports, the oil storage tanks in Fujairah, UAE were attacked by Iran. Foreign media called this a major event because Fujairah is a major oil transportation center in the UAE. If things there start being affected, fuel prices will rise again, so don't be surprised!
Evidently, Iran is no longer holding back now, and it's opening up to attack. This time, Iran bombed the oil facilities in the UAE. What does this mean? It means that oil storage facilities in Middle Eastern countries will become the focus of Iran's attacks. To put it bluntly, Iran is stabbing at the pain points of the US, Europe, and Middle Eastern countries. Iran's intention is clear: if the situation doesn't de-escalate, it won't just be about oil not being transported from the Middle East anymore, but rather, oil storage will become a big problem, potentially even causing an energy crisis.
What does this action mean? It means that even after the war ends, it will be a big problem for global countries to restore normal oil supply in the short term. The later the war ends, the longer the cycle of oil supply recovery will be. Now, international oil prices have already surged sharply, and when oil prices soar, global inflation will rebound immediately, which will certainly trigger a series of chain reactions. Now, countries are hesitant to let tankers enter, hesitate to insure, and hesitate to invest capital, and the Middle Eastern oil industry chain has been broken. In one word, if countries don't want this situation to continue, they should step forward and exert pressure on the United States. Iran's move is undoubtedly a tough one!
