Iran threatens Gulf oil and infrastructure as regional attacks intensify
Threats to Gulf oil infrastructure indicate heightened risk to regional crude production and export flows.

How it reaches your house.
Starting from BP plc, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
QatarEnergy (Qatar Energy) →Shortage riskNatural gas wellhead production
Iran-linked strikes damaged Ras Laffan and Shell reported QatarEnergy shut in production and declared force majeure, so QatarEnergy's natural-gas wellhead output is constrained; the 7% market share makes the market-wide hit material but limited.
93% confidenceCanadian crude oil imports →Shortage riskSaudi Arabia is a Gulf exporter exposed to threatened regional oil routes, and it represents 4.9% of this import mix, so this source tightens modestly.
87% confidenceCanadian crude oil imports →Shortage riskIraq is also a Gulf-route crude exporter and accounts for 3.3% of this import basket, so the regional disruption trims its availability here.
Hop 2
Saudi Arabia →Shortage riskAmine Desulfurization Chemicals
Saudi Arabia supplies 39.3% of this chemical, so a disruption to Gulf oil infrastructure can materially tighten supply.
83% confidenceNatural gas wellhead production →Shortage riskBecause this edge is modeled as fully critical (dependency_strength=1, is_critical=true), any disruption at natural gas wellhead production directly constrains home gas supply.
81% confidenceBase oils (Group II/III) →Shortage riskHop 3
Crude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskCrude oil feedstock is a critical, one-to-one input to gasoline and diesel, so disrupted Gulf crude flows directly tighten output availability.
98% confidenceGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →Shortage riskThis feedstock has a 0.95 dependency strength and is marked critical, so disruption in Gulf-side crude supply directly tightens jet fuel availability.
97% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →Shortage riskHome heating oil is also a critical downstream product of crude feedstock, so reduced regional crude production/export flows constrain supply.
