In the dark of the night, Israel has struck Iranian facilities linked to South Pars, the largest natural gas field in the world, moving ahead towards a serious escalation.

Many Arabian countries like Oman have condemned the attack, calling it as a "Serious Escalation". Even the US President Donald Trump is against further strikes on Energy infrastructures in Iran (Yeah, how will USA loot them after regime change if that happens). But, we all know Israel, they rarely oblige to US desires.

Iran has already started to retaliate, launching strikes on significant energy facilities across the Persian Gulf.

What do you think, can this seriously escalate conflict? Let me know. To all Indians and people who enjoy our content, please join "BharatDefense". We really need your support.

It's only mostly methane. There are other gases, like ethane. Ethane clogs up power plants & furnaces, so it has to be separated out from the methane. It gets used to make PETE (#1), HDPE (#2), & LDPE (#4) plastics. Natural gas extraction produces so much waste ethane that it's currently economically unviable to recycle those plastics, since it's cheaper to make new. Even if sent to a recycling facility they almost entirely get landfilled or incinerated. :(
