Iran Targets Gulf Oil Facilities As U.S.–Israel War Threatens Global Fuel Prices
Iran’s expanding war with the United States and Israel is now hitting the world’s oil infrastructure—and it could soon hit American wallets.
Bahrain confirmed that a facility in its oil-infrastructure zone was targeted as Iran launched new missile and drone attacks across the Persian Gulf. The strike comes as retaliation for joint U.S.–Israeli operations inside Iran that killed key leaders and destroyed military sites.
Videos circulating online show fires in Bahrain’s industrial area near major refining operations. Some reports claim the strike involved the Bahrain Petroleum Company refinery, though full damage assessments remain ongoing.

Iran has also claimed it targeted a U.S. military base in Bahrain, while Gulf states report intercepting waves of drones and missiles across the region.
The bigger impact may be economic.
The war is disrupting shipping lanes and threatening oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy routes. Analysts say the fighting is already pushing oil prices higher and could trigger increases in gasoline, shipping costs, and everyday goods in the United States.
For American households, the conflict overseas may soon show up at the gas pump.
