Qatar has warned that the ongoing conflict in the Middle East could quickly halt energy exports from Gulf producers, potentially within days, if regional tensions escalate further.
The warning reflects concerns that disruptions to oil and gas supplies could rapidly push up global energy prices, with Brent crude already trading above $90 a barrel amid market anxiety over supply risks, reports the Financial Times.
The potential export stoppage highlights the fragility of energy flows from a region critical to the world’s fuel markets.
