Iran war: Oil shortages threaten global energy security
The 2026 Iran war and closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a shipping route that carried 20% of global oil trade prior to the conflict, has caused a major oil supply shock, leading to record drawdowns of strategic and commercial petroleum reserves across the world. Analysts warn that if the Strait remains closed, oil stockpiles could reach critically low levels by the end of June 2026, triggering sharp price hikes, uneven fuel shortages disproportionately impacting import-dependent Asian nations and the aviation sector, with limited further government intervention options as reserve levels shrink.
