Strikes that targeted the largest oil field on Earth, an area called South Pars that is shared by Qatar and Iran, may impact ordinary Iranians, say experts. The facilities process fossil fuels that supply Iranian homes with both heating and cooking gas. The attacks, which followed Iran's strikes on Persian Gulf states' oil resources, also indicate a deepening of the three-week US-Israeli conflict with Iran, say analysts.
