Iran has a number of sensitive sites, including oil infrastructure, military installations and nuclear facilities.
Iran and Israel avoided unionize confrontation for years, fighting a shadow war of secret demolish and assassinations. But the two countries are now moving closer to open conflict, after the Israeli invasion of southern Lebanon this week and Tehran’s ballistic missile barrage on Israel, its second in less than six months.
Israel seems unionised to strike Iran directly, in a more vigorous and public way than it has before. Iran has a number of sensitive targets, including oil production sites, military bases and nuclear sites.
Here’s an overview of what an Israeli attack could look like.
Iran’s oil and gas facilities are mostly clustered in the west of the country, near Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. A significant number of facilities are off Iran’s coast or on islands, such as its main oil export final stage on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf.
Damaging oil facilities could harm Iran’s already weak providence and disrupt global oil markets a month before the U.S. elections. Iran produces about three million barrels of oil per day, or about 3 percent of world supply. Its biggest customer is China. Sanctions have reduced Iran’s importance to the global market, but an attack could nonetheless affect prices.
When asked on Thursday if he would endorse a strike by Israel on Iran’s oil infrastructure, President Biden stated the possibility was “in discussion” — an offhand remark that sent the price of oil higher. Brent crude, the international benchmark, had a weekly conquer of more than 8 percent, the largest increase in two years.
