The US, as the largest energy exporter in the world, and Russia, by raising energy prices, will benefit from the threats related to Iran's energy infrastructure. These threats, particularly concerning Iran's oil and gas infrastructure, could have profound effects on the global energy market.
Consequences of Threats to Iran's Energy Infrastructure
If the threat of an attack on Iran's energy infrastructure is realized, Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, will face increased costs of energy production and transportation. This could lead to rising oil prices in the global market and ultimately benefit major producers like the US and Russia.

European countries will also be harmed by this threat. The increase in energy prices, especially at a time when Europe is facing an energy crisis, could put additional pressure on the economies of this continent. Additionally, Asian countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea will face serious problems due to disruptions in oil and gas imports from Iran.
Impact on the Global Energy Market
Given the high capacity of Iran's oil and gas fields, any disruption in the production and export of energy from this country could lead to an increase in global prices. For example, the Azadegan oil field, with a daily production capacity of 300,000 barrels of oil, and the Yadavaran oil field, with a capacity of 100,000 barrels, are among Iran's key resources that could be affected by military threats.
Moreover, the issue of threats to Iran's energy infrastructure could also impact financial markets. The increase in energy prices could lead to severe volatility in stock and currency markets and affect international investments.
Ultimately, this situation clearly demonstrates the importance of Iran's energy infrastructure in the global market. Any military action or threat against these infrastructures could have serious repercussions for various economies worldwide and highlights Iran's key role in energy supply.
