Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which handles approximately one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply, are threatening global gas availability and intensifying competition among buyers in Asia shift toward renewables and Europe. These constraints are also impacting impacts Iran’s domestic steel industry due to rising energy costs and natural gas shortages, despite record production levels at the South Pars field. By early November 2026, the conflict has generated massive windfall profits for major oil and gas companies. costs.
