Roughly one-fifth of global oil consumption — more than 20 million barrels of crude, condensate and refined fuels per day — moved through the narrow waterway last year, Reuters reported, citing data from analytics firm Vortexa. At its narrowest point, the strait is just 21 miles wide, with shipping lanes only about 2 miles wide in each direction. It connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, making it a vital artery for energy exports. ## **Gulf Energy Exports At Risk As War Expands** Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates collectively shipped more than 13 million barrels of crude per day through the Strait last year, with most of those exports headed to China. The passage is also crucial for global liquefied natural gas flows. Iran, for its part, produced about 3.5 million barrels per day of crude and roughly 800,000 barrels per day of condensate in 2025, accounting for nearly 4% of the worldwide supply. Qatar, one of the world's largest liquefied natural gas exporters, also sends nearly all of its LNG cargoes through the passage. Earlier in the day, **QatarEnergy** suspended LNG production following military strikes that hit its facilities in Ras Laffan and Mesaieed industrial cities. ## **Trump Warns Of Larger US Military Action** Meanwhile, President **Donald Trump**, in an interview with CNN, said U.S. forces have already struck Iran with significant force but cautioned that an even larger "big wave" of military action is still ahead. According to U.S. Central Command, six American service members had been killed in action as of 4 p.m. ET on March 2. > CENTCOM Update > > TAMPA, Fla. – As of 4 pm ET, March 2, six U.S. service members have been killed in action.
