A secret deal in the shadow of war: Qatar offers an energy market quake to save a gas giant

According to The Washington Post, citing U.S. officials, Qatar engaged in secret negotiations with Iran during the war, offering assistance in destabilizing global energy markets in exchange for Iran sparing Qatar's key gas facility, Ras Laffan. Iran did not provide a firm guarantee against attacking the facility, but Qatar believed it could reach an implicit agreement with Iran. Doha reportedly offered to halt gas production, which would have caused disruptions in the global energy market and increased pressure on the United States and Israel. Production at the facility was indeed halted on a

Katar je tokom rata vodio tajne pregovore s Iranom, nudeći pomoć u destabilizaciji svjetskih energetskih tržišta kako bi Teheran zauzvrat poštedio njegovo ključno plinsko postrojenje Ras Laffan.

Tako piše The Washington Post, pozivajući se na izjave američkih zvaničnika.

Prema navodima lista, Iran nije dao čvrstu garanciju da neće napasti postrojenje koje osigurava petinu svjetske proizvodnje prirodnog plina. Ipak, Katar je vjerovao da bi mogao postići prešutni dogovor s iranskom stranom.

Obustava rada

Doha je, navodno, ponudila obustavu proizvodnje plina, što bi izazvalo poremećaje na globalnom energetskom tržištu i povećalo pritisak na Sjedinjene Američke Države (United States) i Izrael. Rad postrojenja zaista je bio obustavljen trećeg dana rata.

Američki zvaničnici, na koje se poziva The Washington Post, tvrde da su Centralna obavještajna agencija (CIA) i visoki zvaničnici administracije Donalda Trampa (Donald Trump) bili upoznati s katarskom ponudom upućenom Iranu.

Presretanje komunikacije

Do tih saznanja došli su nakon presretanja komunikacije iranskih čelnika tokom američkih nadzornih operacija.

The Washington Post navodi da je Iran u martu ipak izveo napad na postrojenje. Tom prilikom uništeni su dijelovi objekta, kao i ključna infrastruktura odgovorna za 20 posto njegove proizvodnje ukapljenog prirodnog plina.

Time su dovedeni u pitanje međunarodni ugovori vrijedni više milijardi dolara.
