flag Gulf nations halted gas exports via force majeure due to Iran threats and Strait of Hormuz disruptions after U.S.-Israeli strikes.

flag Gulf nations including Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait have invoked force majeure on gas exports due to escalating Middle East tensions following U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran starting February 28. flag Iran’s threats against vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy route, led to shipping disruptions and halted deliveries. flag Companies used force majeure clauses—typically for events beyond control—to suspend exports and avoid penalties, with QatarEnergy’s action affecting nearly 20% of global LNG supply. flag India also invoked force majeure to prioritize domestic gas use. flag The unprecedented closure of the strait may qualify as a force majeure event, though courts would decide. flag Market volatility and rising energy prices persist amid uncertainty over the conflict’s duration.
