What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Conflict fallout from an Iranian strike damaged Qatari port capacity, resulting in an estimated 17% reduction in export capacity for Ras Laffan and incurring estimated $20 billion in losses. This physical damage to the Ras Laffan facility reduces core LNG export capacity and requires three years for repair. Separately, the Qatar Investment Authority continues to deploy capital overseas despite the economic fallout from the Iran war.
