Refineries, Tankers & Key Energy Sites: What Was Hit In West Asia War So Far And How Badly?

Last Updated:April 13, 2026, 19:10 IST

From oil hubs to commercial vessels, strikes and retaliation have hit key assets across Iran and the Gulf with varying levels of damage.

A wide range of energy infrastructure, shipping assets, and limited civilian sites have been hit in the ongoing US-Israel strikes on Iran, according to conflict mapping data compiled by Kpler. A separate report by AFP also outlines the status of key energy sites under attack.

The strikes span petrochemical hubs, LNG facilities, oil processing sites, and commercial vessels across Iran and the wider Gulf region, pointing to a dual focus on energy supply chains and maritime movement.

Before the start of a fragile, two-week truce between Iran and the United States, the Islamic republic had targeted critical energy infrastructure belonging to its oil-rich neighbours after Israel and the US struck civilian, infrastructure, and military sites.

Tehran accused Gulf states of allowing US forces to launch attacks from their territories during the war, which was triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28. The Gulf states have denied the accusations.

Beyond Iran, strikes and retaliatory attacks have also hit key energy infrastructure across the Gulf, including in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait.

Here is a breakdown of the key assets struck and the extent of damage:
