  • Kuwait Refinery Hit Amid Iran-Israel Conflict Affecting Gulf Energy Supplies
    March 20, 2026, 8:05 AM EDT. A fire at Kuwait's Mina Al-Ahmadi oil refinery followed another drone strike linked to Iran, intensifying concerns over Gulf energy infrastructure amid regional conflict. The incident occurred a day after Qatar's Ras Laffan facility was targeted. Iran pledged retaliation following an Israeli strike damaging its South Pars gas field, a key energy source. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed victory against Iran, signaling the conflict's potential end but hinted at a possible ground offensive. Iranian officials maintained missile production despite ongoing bombardments. The war dampened New Year celebrations across Iran and the Gulf, with Tehran still facing Israeli bombardments.
