The recent tensions and military actions between the United States and Iran have raised serious concerns about global oil markets. Since the Middle East is one of the world’s most important regions for oil production and transport, any conflict there can quickly impact oil prices worldwide.

One of the biggest concerns is the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route through which a large portion of the world’s oil supply passes. If the situation escalates and oil shipments are disrupted, prices could rise sharply, affecting fuel costs, transportation, and overall inflation across many countries.

Countries that rely heavily on imported oil are likely to feel the biggest impact. Major importers such as India, Pakistan, China, Japan, and many European countries could face higher fuel prices and economic pressure. At the same time, oil-exporting nations in the Gulf, like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iraq, could also face instability if production or shipping routes are threatened.

Many analysts believe that even the fear of supply disruption is enough to push markets upward. The big question now is: Will this conflict cause a short-term spike in oil prices, or could it lead to a longer global energy shock?

What do you think are we heading toward another oil crisis or will the market stabilize soon?

I am in Pakistan.. no unfortunatley we dont have any website who can provide such information so we have to all rely on media sources
 
I think india is already in talks with multiple countries,Usa, Venezuela,opec and Gcc.russia have already informed they are ready to jump in.indian govt has every chance to resume Russian oil supply again.

You think?

So, it is not confirmed. You are guessing. :inti

After India's backstabbing behavior, no country should make a deal with India. :inti
 
Prices have already climbed up in USA for many daily needs. If you guys buy Indian/Pak/Bad groceries, stock up for short term if you can.
 
India was supplied by Russia but thanks to compromised pm that has been halted/reduced to great extent. So prices may go up here.

Not only Oil shock, a complete economic shock is coming, like from Pakistan to Gulf meat export is halted, remittances wil be cut also, inflation will further increase in many countries. lets see what happens to $ Dollar rate in coming days.
 

US eases sanctions on Russian oil sales to India during Iran conflict​


The US government has temporarily eased sanctions to allow India to buy Russian oil currently stranded at sea, amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the 30-day waiver was a "deliberate short-term measure" to allow oil to keep flowing in the global market.

Millions of barrels of oil and gas are stuck near the Strait of Hormuz - a narrow Gulf chokepoint through which nearly half of India's crude oil and gas imports transits. Tehran has threatened to attack vessels attempting to pass through since the US and Israel began their war against Iran.

The US sanctioned Russian oil following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, forcing buyers to seek alternatives.

Washington has put particular pressure on India - a major buyer of Russian energy - to stop buying its oil in an effort to reduce money flowing to fund the invasion.

Bessent said the waiver would "not provide significant financial benefit" to Russia as it only authorised transactions involving oil already stranded at sea.

"This stop-gap measure will alleviate pressure caused by Iran's attempt to take global energy hostage," Bessent said on X.

The indefinite halt in supplies has triggered fears of an impending energy crisis in India, which reportedly has crude oil and gas stocks to last for about 25 days.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has warned the war against Iran, which began last Saturday, could stretch on for four to five weeks or longer.

On Wednesday, Petronet LNG, India's ‌top ⁠gas importer, issued a force majeure notice to its supplier, QatarEnergy and its local buyers after its LNG tankers were unable to reach the loading terminal at Ras Laffan in Doha.

The Gas Authority of India Ltd (Gail) and Indian Oil Corp (IOC) have already begun reducing gas supplies to industrial customers, Reuters news agency reported on Tuesday.

In terms of oil, India imports 90% of its crude.

Around half of this, which amounts to 2.5 to 2.7 million barrels a day, travels through the Strait of Hormuz, largely from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

Experts say that a supply crunch due to the closure of the strait could to lead to inflation and push up India's fiscal deficit.

With the waiver in place, about 145 million barrels of Russian crude which remain on the water could potentially be redirected toward Indian ports if commercial deals are finalised, Sumit Ritolia, lead research analyst at Kpler, told the BBC.

"However, the waiver does not fundamentally change India's structural exposure to Middle Eastern supply flows," he added.

Russian oil makes up an estimated 20% of India's total imports. The waiver marks a notable shift in the US approach to India's Russian oil imports.

Not long ago, Trump imposed 50% tariffs on India, including a 25% levy for importing oil from Russia. Trump alleged India's purchase of Russian oil was helping fund Russia's war in Ukraine.

India has always defended its purchase of Russian crude, saying that it needs to meet the energy needs of its vast population and has the right to do business with its trading partners.

But since late 2025, India reportedly began reducing its imports of Russian crude and has since boosted its crude oil purchases from the US.

In February, Trump announced a trade deal with India which slashed tariffs to 18%.

He wrote on his Truth Social platform that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had "agreed to stop buying Russian oil, and to buy much more oil from the United States and, potentially, Venezuela".

India has never officially confirmed reducing its imports of Russian crude and maintains it will not allow its trading relations to be dictated by other countries

This disruption shouldn't last too long. Countries can't take it forever and they'll start doing things like sending navy vessels to escort their ship through the straits. Iran can't fight the whole world.

For me, the issue is more the longer term uncertainty. Most of it is under the fog of war but from what I can see, no oil production facilities have been seriously damaged - including in Iran. There's the odd hit but nothing that would really impair production. The concern is that this is not a war that has a simple resolution and there's likely to be long term ripple effects. Everyone will be on edge and prices are likely to stay relatively high for a year or two. Big importing countries like China, India, Pakistan will be the worst affected. Countries like Russia, Venezuela and the US (shale producers) will benefit.

India is awaiting orders from the White House .
:sachin


If this continues by April $150 a barrel as it’s expected oil installations will be damaged . Europe has no natural resources so will suffer badly
 
Saudi Arabia has stepped in to secure Pakistan’s fuel supply by routing oil shipments through Yanbu on the Red Sea, bypassing potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. 🇸🇦⛽

If true good news for people of Pakistan, otherwise the fake regime will just leech the public
 
I might be missing something but what do Iran get from blocking the oil route ?

Does it damage USA and Isreal economy ?

All I see is the USA are earning high profit by selling there own brent oil expensive due to shortage of oil supply caused by blockage.

If someone has a better understanding, please correct me.

Thanks.

Quarter of world oil passes through that part controlled by iran.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important shipping routes, and its most vital oil transit choke point.

Bounded to the north by Iran and to the south by Oman and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the corridor – which is only about 50km (31 miles) wide at its entrance and exit, and about 33km wide at its narrowest point – connects the Gulf with the Arabian Sea.

The strait is deep enough for the world's biggest crude oil tankers, and is used by the major oil and gas producers in the Middle East – and their customers.

In 2025, about 20 million barrels of oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz per day, according to estimates from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) – that's nearly $600bn (£447bn) worth of energy trade per year.

That oil comes not only from Iran, but also other Gulf states such as Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.


What would be the impact of closing the strait?​


About 3,000 or so ships sail through the strait each month.

Analysts have warned that the longer there are threats to ships passing through the strait, the higher the price of oil - and the shipping of it - will be.

"It is de facto closed in that no one dares to go through," Arne Lohmann Rasmussen, chief analyst at Global Risk Management, a provider of energy market insights, told CBS News, the BBC's US partner.

"You can be attacked, and you can't get insurance or it is extremely expensive, so you have to wait until the security situation is better... If oil and gas coming from the strait is cut off, that has significant ramifications for the market," he added.

"While there is no physical blockade, threats from the Iranians, plus drone and missile attacks, mean tankers are not going through the strait."

The global benchmark Brent crude briefly hit $82 (£61) a barrel on Monday, after at least three ships were attacked near the Strait of Hormuz at the weekend.

That has left about 150 tankers stranded, according to the Reuters news agency.

According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group, the cost of hiring a supertanker to ship oil from the Middle East to China has almost doubled from last week's price to a record high of more than $400,000 (£298,300).

The closure of the vital shipping lane will also hurt Gulf countries, like Saudi Arabia, whose economies rely heavily on energy exports.

Iran, by comparison, exports about 1.7 million barrels per day, according to the International Energy Agency. Iran exported $67bn (£50bn) worth of oil in the financial year ending March 2025 – its highest oil revenue in the past decade – according to estimates by the Central Bank of Iran.

A blockade of the strait will also hit Asia hard.

In 2022, around 82% of crude oil and condensates (low-density liquid hydrocarbons that typically occur with natural gas) leaving the Strait of Hormuz were bound for Asian countries, according to EIA estimates.

China alone is estimated to buy around 90% of the oil that Iran exports to the global market.

Because China uses that oil to make products it then exports to other countries, higher oil prices could also mean higher prices for consumers around the world.



Alternative routes to offset the blockade:

The persistent threat of a closure of the Strait of Hormuz has, over the years, prompted oil-exporting countries in the Gulf region to develop alternative export routes.

Saudi Arabia operates a 1,200km-long pipeline capable of transporting up to 5 million barrels of crude oil per day, according to the EIA.

In the past is has also temporarily repurposed a natural gas pipeline to carry crude oil.

The United Arab Emirates has connected its inland oilfields to the port of Fujairah on the Gulf of Oman via a pipeline with a daily capacity of at least 1.5 million barrels.

Oil could be diverted along the alternate infrastructure to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, but Reuters reports that would lead to a drop in supply of between 8-10 million barrels per day.

But the question I asked was about USA and Isreal economy and oil supply.

USA is surplus in producing crude oil and they are getting advantage of this by selling their own oil at high price and after acquiring Venezuela oil they are sitting on massive reserves.

Isreal does not import oil from that particular route so not much direct impact on them.

Only class that is affected is the middle class of the world including Asia that will be hugely effected by hyper-inflation.

The upper and elite class won't budge much.

Iranian oil is not heavy crude , is the easiest to refine .

The main issue is oil prices are global , set by OPEC . It was $70 a week ago , now currently around $92. American gas prices go up too , meaning everything else does along with it.

Anything $180 plus , the global economy crashes , currency crashes, stocks crashing, huge job losses, civil disorder , crime rising, civil services depleted.

The world runs interlinked , you cannot isolate yourself as a big country at all . IMO this is deliberate, in order to cause civil unrest and weaken the $ , it’s an attack on America too .

Partially agreed with all things you said except that US dollar actually thrives on rising oil prices as both are directly proportional.
 
PM Shehbaz directs petroleum minister to devise plan for petrol conservation

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday directed provincial governments to immediately seal petrol pumps involved in hoarding fuel, cancel their licenses, and initiate legal proceedings against those creating artificial shortages of petroleum products in the country.

Chairing a high-level meeting on the availability of petroleum products, the prime minister instructed provincial authorities to take strict legal action against hoarders.

During a briefing by the Ministry of Petroleum on the availability of petroleum products amid the evolving regional situation, officials informed the meeting that sufficient stocks were available in the country to meet national demand.

Prime Minister Shehbaz directed the Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik to visit the provinces and, in collaboration with the provincial governments, prepare an action plan and strategy for conserving petroleum products and ensuring their uninterrupted supply to the public.

He further instructed authorities to establish a dashboard to monitor the movement of petroleum products, enabling real-time data sharing with provinces to track transportation and supply.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Federal Ministers Jam Kamal Khan, Ahad Khan Cheema, Muhammad Aurangzeb, Attaullah Tarar, Ali Pervaiz Malik, Awais Khan Leghari, Minister of State Bilal Azhar Kayani, Special Assistant Haroon Akhtar, Governor State Bank Jameel Ahmad, chief secretaries of all four provinces, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan, along with senior government officials.

US commentary on India buying Russian Oil
2022: don't buy
2023: Kind of okay to buy
2024: can buy
2025: don't buy
2026: can buy

Meanwhile, India's import of Russian energy
-2022: 0.2% of total import
-Feb 2026: 1.04 mn barrel per day


India has never stopped buying oil from Russia, but has increased it since the Ukraine war, despite warnings from the European Union and USA .

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

:klopp :kp
 
Its going to impact everyone. Indians are living in delusions if they think they're not going to be impacted. First of all you can't do anything until you don't get orders from Trump. Remember one od the conditions for Pakistan accepting your ceasefire request last year was that you will be compliant and quietly take orders from our friends in Washington in return for our secutity guarentee. Any instance of dissent from your side, and you know very well what we will do to you. Kashmir has many tourist spots and some of them aren't very well guarded even now. IYKYK.

Absolutely anti people decision by our Rulers. The price shock has nt actually manifested because we did have reserves to consume. not military reserves but oil distribution to General public.

This Govt is so in sensitive regarding its people. It seems like they needed an excuse and they got one to do what they have been wanting to. Who is gonna pay for Gulf stream jets ?

There is huge shortfall in revenue collection from FBR.

Its the only way these clowns can recover

They can only attack basic necessities like Energy bills whether its fuel or Electricity.

The Percentage of indirect taxes Pakistan public pays compared to what it makes is probably one of the highest . This regime is running out of ideas to impose more taxes.

The issue is that according to the government they had old oil stock left for 28 days which they bought at cheap rates and now they are selling them at current rates earning massive profit from it.

Secondly, the government already gets around Rs100 per litre petroleum levy then why no measures were taken to decrease some burden from already crushed middle class ?

The country may or may not default but the middle class will surely default in no time if it continues like this long term.

Do you have any sense at all?

You’re comparing two completely different currencies and acting like you discovered something clever.

The Indian rupee is worth more, so the numbers will obviously look smaller.

India are selling at 105 rupees equivalent to $1.12

Pakistan are selling at 321 rupees equivalent to $1.16

So where is that big diffrence you both crying about @BouncerGuy

So after all that noise, what exactly is your point? Stop embarrassing yourself.

Pakistan is in a difficult situation at the moment.

Most of the oil in Baloch region is cheap smuggled oil from Iran.

I remember travelling there a few years back and we saw stations selling Iranian oil that has been snuggled across the border.

If these people have to rely on actually imported then they will be screwed because they are probably paying at a rate of 30-40usd per barrell before the conflict
 
So Public transport fares to increase in Pakistan

Rs. 2000/- fare to increase to Rs. 3300/- , intra city transport

Pakistan Railways to also increase their fares.

Chicken meat rises in Pakistan from Rs. 504/- to Rs. 590/-. per kg.

Onion price rises from Rs. 55/- to Rs. 80/- per kg.

Petition also filed in LHC against Petrol prices, Alas! the petitioner might be unaware Pakistan courts are also sold out.

Pakistan's common man will be at crossroads now.
 
Years of living next to Iran and not having cheap supply of oil is insane foreign policy failure, even during Shah Era when he was super pro Pakistani Army, make it make sense.

Hopefully doesn’t make it miserable for poor people.
 
Ganda hai par dhanda hai ye lol ...

Pakistan itself says it maintains roughly 3–4 weeks of petroleum reserves. Recently officials even mentioned around 28 days of stock. So the petrol currently being sold at pumps was imported weeks ago, when crude prices were much lower somewhere around $60 per barrel. So here’s the simple question:

If the country already has almost a month of fuel sitting in storage, why are people paying the price of oil that hasn’t even arrived yet? Those new expensive shipments are still somewhere in the ocean. But the price at the pump jumps immediately.

Matlab simple si baat hai…
“tel purana hai, rate naya kyun?”
This is where the famous import parity pricing comes in. Basically Pakistan prices fuel based on what it would cost to import oil today, not what the current stock actually cost the country. So when international prices go up, Pakistanis start paying more immediately. But when prices go down?

Phir government ko “formula review” ya “economic adjustment” ya “revenue stability” yaad aa jati hai. Public ko relief kab milta hai, woh sab ko pata hai.

And then there’s the other elephant in the room: the structure of petrol price itself. A big chunk of the Rs. 321 isn’t even the oil. Petroleum levy, dealer margins, transport equalization, and other adjustments all get stacked on top. The government collects a huge amount from every litre sold. So the public basically ends up paying for everything.

And then the Free petrol quotas to our poorest categories which are Government vehicles, bureaucrats, ministers, judges, army officers, protocol fleets, escort vehicles, all running on fuel that ultimately comes from the same national pool lol.
Now another interesting news came out today: Pakistan is planning to import millions of barrels of oil from Russia.

Sounds great on paper because Russian oil is usually cheaper due to sanctions. But there’s a technical catch people often forget. Most of Pakistan’s refineries are designed for Middle Eastern crude (like Saudi or UAE grades). Russian crude, especially the Urals blend, has a different composition and sulfur level. Many Pakistani refineries can’t process large volumes of it efficiently without blending or upgrading equipment. So, why even bother buying it lmao unless its just a ACT from our actors of govt.

That’s why earlier Russian oil deals were mostly trial cargoes and limited quantities. So when politicians announce “cheap Russian oil is coming”, the reality is often more complicated. Either the refinery can’t process it properly, or the country ends up blending it with other crude, or the cost advantage disappears in logistics. But announcements sound good on TV.

And rn, even in $ prices Pakistan is selling Petrol more expensive than the India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh etc. I wont be amused if soon Shehbaz or other clowns request Awaam NOT to use their personal vehicles, but use public transport to save petrol for them lol ...

I have no idea what that says translate it into English first so people can actually understand what you’re trying to say.

Also, before crying about Pakistan selling petrol 2 cents more expensive than India, maybe do a little research first. Tell me who India’s oil suppliers are, how much India is paying per barrel, who Pakistan’s suppliers are, how much Pakistan is paying per barrel, and how much profit each country is making in USD.

Another important point 100 Indian rupees and 100 Pakistani rupees are not the same in value, so comparing prices using the same numbers is meaningless. The currency value and purchasing power are completely different in each country.

So instead of making childish comparisons based on a 2-cent difference, maybe first try to understand how global oil markets, exchange rates, taxes, and supply chains actually work before jumping to conclusions.

Actually, Pakistan imports oil from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries at very cheap prices, but after the imposition of tax its price increases a lot.

Ohky, so lets have a sensible comparison then. Pakistan is using the oil which was bought at the price of $60 per barrel, and still have stocks of like 28 days or something. New stock havent even arrived yet, then why the price hikes??

Show me the evidence that the oil being bought is actually $60 per barrel.

Also explain what the price per barrel becomes when global oil prices increase, and based on that, how much per litre the government would charge at the pump once taxes, refining costs, transport, and other charges are added.

Without showing those details, simply claiming a price difference doesn’t prove anything.

Don’t try to argue without logic just to defend PTI.

At least bring facts, numbers, and proper reasoning to support what you’re saying instead of blindly spouting PTI propaganda

We don’t need to go step-by-step my post is crystal clear, so stop trying to derail the topic. you sound like you had no proper education or a proper job or done any sort of business, on top of that your doing village level maths without understanding how things actually work.

How do you know the plan isn’t to slightly increase prices now, so that when more expensive oil comes later they don’t have to raise prices sharply? That way it averages out, the public doesn’t get hit with a sudden big increase later, and the government also avoids taking a loss.

Do you actually use your brain or do you just want to keep spouting PTI Propaganda?

Petrol prices have gone up everywhere, and ours is only about 2 cents more expensive than India.
