Strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran upended global energy markets in days. Oil prices surged, rising steadily as the prospect of prolonged conflict sharpened. Qatar suspended all of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, depriving major buyers in Europe and Asia of critical supply. Iran blocked access to the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic corridor through which more than 16 million barrels of oil typically flow daily, according to Rystad Energy. Saudi Arabia also shut down a key refinery.
