A large gas field in the United Arab Emirates was set ablaze after a drone strike on Tuesday and a vital oil port was halted again, piling pressure on energy markets and supply with each day that the Iran war goes on.

The latest incidents in the UAE add to a fast-growing list of attacks on energy assets in the Middle East. Some of the largest refineries and a massive LNG export plant have halted operations following drone strikes, ports around the region have been hit and oil fields in Saudi Arabia targeted.
