Iranian forces conducted a second attack on the Ras Laffan refinery in Qatar this morning, a move that followed earlier threats from U.S. officials. The Gazeta Express reported this significant event at 8:51 AM on March 19, 2026.
Iranian state television announced that a rocket had impacted the world’s largest natural gas production facility. The IRIB network confirmed the damage, reporting via Telegram that “the refinery at Ras Laffan in Qatar was struck again by a rocket and is burning.” This attack follows a previous incident involving ballistic missiles. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Emirates issued a statement on X, detailing that “ballistic missiles launched by Iran targeted the Ras Laffan industrial city and caused damage.” This represents a serious escalation of tensions in the region.
The Ras Laffan refinery remains the world’s largest gas facility, and its repeated targeting highlights ongoing security concerns. The incident underscores the Iranian government’s continued actions and the potential for further disruption to global energy supplies.
