Israel lança novos ataques ao Irã enquanto perturbações no Estreito de Ormuz ameaçam o petróleo global

Numa escalada adicional do conflito em curso, a força aérea de Israel atacou posições do Corpo de Guardiães Revolucionários Islâmicos em Teerã e Isfahan a 12 de março, após ataques iniciais EUA-Israel no início do mês. O Irã retaliou com mísseis e drones visando Israel, bases dos EUA e Estados do Golfo, enquanto ataques ao transporte marítimo no Estreito de Ormuz — por onde passa 20% do petróleo global — levantaram temores de uma grande crise energética.

As Forças de Defesa de Israel (IDF) confirmaram ataques aéreos seletivos a alvos militares e logísticos iranianos, incluindo instalações de drones/mísseis do Corpo de Guardiães Revolucionários Islâmicos (IRGC), centros de planeamento e bases de unidades especiais em Teerã e Isfahan. As IDF classificaram estes como centrais para a agressão regional do Irã. Os Guardiães Revolucionários intensificaram a resposta do Irã, com ataques a infraestruturas civis, transportes e navios comerciais no Golfo Pérsico. Pelo menos três navios mercantes, incluindo um cargueiro de bandeira tailandesa que explodiu, foram atingidos por projéteis em meio a 14 ataques totais desde a escalada das hostilidades. O IRGC ameaçou bloquear o Estreito de Ormuz enquanto durar a campanha de Israel, detendo centenas de navios. Isto representa a maior ameaça às reservas energéticas globais desde as crises petrolíferas dos anos 1970, com analistas iranianos a preverem preços do crude até 200 dólares por barril. A Agência Internacional de Energia respondeu libertando 400 milhões de barris de reservas estratégicas. The Guardian citou alertas iranianos de potencial 'caos económico global', com base nas origens do conflito em operações conjuntas EUA-Israel no início de março contra as capacidades de mísseis e nucleares do Irã.
