Iran intensified its attacks on Gulf oil and gas infrastructure Thursday in retaliation for an Israeli attack on a key Iranian gas field, dramatically raising the stakes in a war that's sending shock waves through the global economy. Fuel prices soared around the world. U.S. President Donald Trump warned that if Iran continues striking its neighbors’ energy infrastructure, the U.S. would retaliate and “massively blow up the entirety” of its gas field.
