Summary

Iranian forces launched a minimum of 135 missile and drone strikes targeting 84 pieces of infrastructure throughout the Persian Gulf region, resulting in billions of dollars in losses, global energy market instability, and the retention of significant leverage over the United States. These operations impacted Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Specifically, the damage inflicted upon the Barakah nuclear power station, the port of Fujairah, and the Ras Laffan LNG facilities hindered the export of liquefied natural gas and oil.
