Qatar admits that its energy exports have been crippled by Iran! The CEO of Qatar Energy told Reuters:
"We may have to declare force majeure on the liquefied natural gas contracts, which will last for five years, affecting Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and East Asia. The damaged facilities cause losses of about 2 billion dollars per year."
- One of the two natural gas liquefaction facilities was damaged in an attack by Iran.
- Qatar's liquefied natural gas exports will decrease by 17% over the next 3 to 5 years.
- In long-term contracts lasting five years, we may be forced to declare force majeure.
In other words, the attacks by Iran have paralyzed 17% of Qatar's liquefied natural gas capacity, and the repairs will take 3 to 5 years.
Wow, how will the global economy digest Qatar's force majeure! What about tomorrow's K-line...
The number of countries declaring 'force majeure' might not just be Qatar alone.
Thanks to the US and Israel attacking Iran, the wealthy countries are becoming victims.
It is sad that, including Qatar, the Gulf countries actually do not have their own intelligence systems; they only have the intelligence agencies of Israel and the United States. Otherwise, they should have known from the beginning that any war involving Iran would surely destroy their economies.
