Iran's attacks on Qatar's natural gas infrastructure have forced the country to halt helium production, disrupting global supply chains for advanced technologies. Qatar supplies about 30% of the world's helium, essential for semiconductor manufacturing, medical imaging, and space rocket fueling. The conflict has led to a 14% annual drop in helium exports, with repairs expected to take years.
