Qatar evacuates Ras Laffan gas facility as Iran threatens Gulf energy sites

Gulf states are taking Iran's threats "extremely seriously" after the IRGC issued evacuation warnings for multiple energy facilities. Qatar's Ras Laffan—the world's largest LNG production site—is being evacuated, having last been attacked on March 2. Iran also named targets including the Al Hosn gas field in the UAE, the Mesaieed petrochemical complex in Qatar, and Saudi Arabia's Jubail petrochemical complex. Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari condemned the threats as "dangerous, irresponsible" and a risk to global energy security. Meanwhile, two loud explosions were reported in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, with residents receiving their first aerial attack warning. Al Jazeera's Victoria Gatenby reports from Doha.
