// Strategic Significance
The Corpus Christi LNG Export Terminal is one of the largest LNG export facilities in the US operated by Cheniere Energy. Combined with Sabine Pass Cheniere operates the largest LNG export capacity in North America. The Corpus Christi facility sits on the Gulf Coast directly in the path of Gulf hurricanes. A coordinated Iranian-linked terrorist attack on multiple Cheniere facilities simultaneously would devastate US LNG export capacity and have immediate strategic consequences for European energy security and the global LNG market.
// Civilian Impact Assessment
San Patricio County with 67,000 residents and the broader Corpus Christi metro. A coordinated attack on Corpus Christi and Sabine Pass simultaneously would eliminate the majority of US LNG export capacity. European energy markets would be severely disrupted. Gulf hurricane risk creates compound vulnerability.
