A recent conflict involving Iran has severely impacted Gulf economies, with an attack on Qatar's main LNG complex causing significant disruption and financial loss.

• An estimated 17% of global LNG supply was knocked out, with repairs expected to take three to five years.
• Key actors include QatarEnergy, led by CEO Saad Al Kaabi, and Iran, whose actions stem from an earlier Israeli strike on its South Pars gas field.
• The overall damage across the Gulf states is estimated at up to $58bn, with the World Bank cutting its Middle East growth forecast.
