Gas prices in Europe surge after gulf energy strikes

Natural gas prices across the United Kingdom and Europe jumped sharply after attacks on major energy facilities in Qatar and Iran intensified concerns about global fuel supplies.

Wholesale gas prices initially surged by more than 25 percent in early trading before easing slightly, though they remain more than double the level seen before the conflict began.

The spike followed damage to the Ras Laffan complex in Qatar, the world’s largest liquefied natural gas facility, which state energy company QatarEnergy said suffered extensive damage.

Ras Laffan Industrial City processes a significant share of global LNG exports, making the site critical to international energy markets.



The escalation also includes strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field, heightening fears of wider disruption across Gulf energy infrastructure and sending shockwaves through financial and commodity markets.

      Putin answering the phone-” Привет…”
      EU President- “Hello, President Putin?”
      Putin- “да
      EU President- “Look, we’re sorry about the sanctions and not believing you about the Zionist conspiracy to invade Russia and the J3w$ wanting to re-establish the 1917 Communist Revolution in 2014. I’m calling to apologise, and to ask if Europe can once again purchase Russian Gas & Oil from Gasprom…”
      Putin- “Вы должны остановить сионистский план по захвату мира.”
      EU President- Yes, we will not invade Iran, the Ukraine or Russia, and we will lift the sanctions and return the money and assets that we stole from Russia and Russian Citizens. Is that OK?”
      Putin-Да. Вы больше не будете участвовать в новом мировом порядке и дадите России обещание 1993 года не продвигаться ни на дюйм дальше на восток, не допустить вступления Украины в НАТО и соблюдать Минские соглашения, которые сионисты обманным путем нарушили!
      EU President- Once Israel is defeated, will you be able to take the Israelis and other J3w$ from around the world and place them in the J3wi$h autonomous zone where they won’t be able to do the world any more harm with their banking, proxy wars and clever MSM deceptions?
      Putin-Мы будем внимательно следить за этим регионом и обеспечим, чтобы они не только перестали представлять угрозу для мира, но и выплатили компенсации за ущерб, причиненный в ходе геноцида в Газе, Голодомора, а также за шантаж и подкуп западных стран.
      EU President- “Sir, this is excellent news! You are truly a Statesman of integrity and you keep your word. Thank you for that, and we do again apologise for allowing ourselves to fall under the Zionist spell which has caused global wars and destructionsince 1913. Please convey my compliments and respect to Mr. Lavrov, Mr. Medvedev, and most of all, to yourself. We’ll speak again soon!
      Again Mr. President, thank you for your patience and understanding!”
      Putin-“Некоммунистическая Российская Федерация с нетерпением ждёт сотрудничества с вами, и мы предполагаем, что после недавно разоблаченных обманов Моссада и сионистов подобное больше никогда не повторится на Западе. Мои министры энергетики и торговли вскоре свяжутся с вами, чтобы обсудить нефть, газ и капитуляцию Украины, в связи с тем, что Зеленский предстал перед судом за преступления против человечности и отказ признать русское наследие и этническую принадлежность в Донбассе. Скоро снова поговорим! До свидания.
      Hopefully, this is how things will go….
