Iran has targeting energy facilities across the Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar in response to an Israeli attack on Iran's South Pars gas field - the largest natural gas field in the world.
It is believed that 17% of Qatar's export capacity has now been wiped out, and could take up to five years to repair.
Qatar-based journalist Courtney Hammond said the attack in Qatar "marks a huge escalation in this war."
She told Andrew Dickens that there are concerns of retaliation from the targeted states as energy facilities are a strong-hold of the Gulf countries' economies.
