TL;DR

Editor's note

The plot touches on the cybersecurity of consumer infrastructure rather than the oil and gas market directly, but demonstrates the further cooling of relations between the European Union and Iran amid the threat of new sanctions. There is no data on the scale of the attacks, the scope and the timing of possible restrictions, so it is impossible to estimate their impact on Iranian oil supplies.
