ANALYSIS | 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 — South Pars Under Fire: Israeli Attack Disrupts Iran's Energy Lifeline
South Pars/North Dome is the world’s largest gas field. Iran’s side supplies ~70-80% of the country’s total natural gas production (recently ~700+ million cubic meters/day).
Gas accounts for:
● ~86% of Iran’s electricity generation
Domestic heating/cooking
● Petrochemical industry (Iran’s second-largest export earner after oil, worth billions annually)
â—Ź Some pipeline exports (mainly to Iraq and Turkey)
● Asaluyeh is Iran’s energy “beating heart” — a huge industrial zone employing tens of thousands and processing sour gas from multiple phases.
Short-Term Effects on Iran (State/Economy)
Production disruption:
Affected plants (gas treatment/refineries) taken offline — one estimate suggests up to ~1/5 of processing capacity impacted initially, with linked offshore platforms seeing reduced flow.
Iran immediately halted gas exports to Iraq (which relies heavily on Iranian supply for power). Exact nationwide drop unclear yet (too recent), but expect several percent reduction short-term.
Revenue hit:
Lost petrochemical output and minor export revenue. War + sanctions already strain the budget; this adds pressure.
Oil/gas markets: Brent crude surged ~5% today to over $108/barrel (nearly 50% higher since war start); global LNG/UK gas prices also rose sharply. Iran ironically benefits from higher oil prices but loses on gas/petrochems.
Repairs: Possible in weeks (2025 precedent), but sanctions limit access to technology/parts, raising costs and delays.
How It Affects Ordinary Iranians
Energy shortages/blackouts: Iran already faces chronic power/gas shortages. This worsens them — expect more frequent electricity cuts (homes, businesses, hospitals, factories). Gas for cooking/heating could see pressure drops or rationing, especially if escalation continues.
Cost of living & economy: Higher inflation from disrupted industry; rising prices for goods, fuel, and imports as the rial weakens further. Petrochemical slowdown hits jobs and subsidies the regime relies on.
Local impacts near Asaluyeh/Bushehr:
Air pollution from fires (toxic gas/smoke risks); temporary unemployment or evacuations in the energy hub.
Broader hardship: War context amplifies suffering — over 1,300 dead nationwide already. Prolonged disruption could spark protests (Iran has history of energy-price riots), though security forces may suppress them. Health effects from pollution or stress in a sanctioned economy.
Longer-Term & Strategic Risks
If more strikes follow or retaliation spirals (Iran already issued evacuation warnings and threatened specific Gulf sites — Saudi Samref/Jubail, UAE Al Hosn, Qatar Ras Laffan/Mesaieed — for “coming hours”), damage compounds. Reservoir pressure issues or delayed maintenance could permanently lower output.
Regime faces weakened leverage (energy is key to survival) but may use it for propaganda (“Zionist aggression”).
Qatar’s side (North Dome) remains untouched and steady — highlighting Iran’s slower development due to sanctions.

🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.
When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

Two months after the U.S. and Israel bombed Iran on February 28, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed for most tanker traffic, forcing more than 10 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude output shut-ins across the Middle Eastern oil producers.
The two-month-long closure of the Strait of Hormuz is longer than analysts had expected at the start of the war. Most assumed back then that the Strait would open by April and producers could restart shut-in wells in May.
Even if the Strait of Hormuz opened to free tanker traffic today, oil supply from the Middle East will take months to start flowing again and reach consumers in Asia, who were the first to feel the supply shock.
The longer the chokepoint remains off limits to most tanker traffic, the worse the scars would be on global supply and economic growth.
The restart of thousands of oil wells across the Middle East would be a big challenge. Some countries would need weeks, but others – like Iraq – many months to bring ...
🍚 War on Iran & El Niño threaten world rice production
Global rice supply is expected to decline this year as farmers across Asia reduce planting areas due to fertilizer shortages and higher fuel costs linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran, while an emerging El Niño weather pattern is also likely to further limit production of the world’s most widely consumed staple.
The impact of the war in West Asia is being felt by farmers in major exporting countries such as Thailand and Vietnam, as well as in import-dependent nations like the Philippines and Indonesia, according to growers and traders. Disruptions to fuel and fertilizer shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a key global shipping chokepoint linking the Gulf to international markets, have contributed to the strain.
Smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia are also facing added pressure as El Niño is expected to bring hotter and drier conditions in the second half of the year.

🛢 “Why aren’t oil prices higher?” “How can the oil market be so complacent?”
Oil prices almost always trade to extremes. Right before it does, it always gets “obvious” from a fundamental setup standpoint.
I remember a great conversation I had with Nelson Wu of Open Square Capital about the oil market being analogous to toilet paper. You don’t realize how badly you need it until you run out of it.
Oil prices trade on the margin. As long as there are onshore inventories to draw from, traders don’t panic. It’s when you run low on onshore inventories that panic starts to set in.
Goldman published an update on Thursday that basically captured the storage math phenomenon that we are seeing:
Global visible total oil inventories remain bloated relative to historical standards. If, for example, we had started the conflict with global oil inventories at the 2025 lows, WTI and Brent would already be above $200/bbl.
The ~1.4 billion bbl cushion at the start of 2026 is what gave the US ...
