Bahrain’s state oil company declares force majeure on its shipments after Iran attack

Bahrain’s state-owned oil company Bapco has declared force majeure on its shipments after Iranian strikes targeted the country’s only oil refinery, disrupting operations amid the escalating conflict in the Gulf.

The move came after Iran attacked Bahrain’s sole oil refinery, forcing the company to suspend certain shipments and operations.

In a statement issued on Monday, Bapco confirmed the decision and cited the ongoing regional conflict and the direct impact of the attack on its refinery complex.
