Asian nations brace for fuel shortages, civil unrest as oil prices continue upward spiral

    Oil prices continue to fluctuate as the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway through which a fifth of the world’s crude typically passes remains shut and the war shows no signs of relenting.

    Muyu Xu is a senior crude oil analyst at Kpler and she told Al Jazeera that uncertainty around the direction the war is taking means oil prices are likely to remain high.

    1. Two Iranians in the middle of the night drifts mines into Strait of Hormuz on a foggy night. There are SO MANY ways Iran can keep ships out. Artillery, mortars, drones, missiles.. Russia is sending weapons!! The entire Perisan Gulf is in range. Try to put yourselves into the workers on these ships! My next door neighbor is one and he refuses to go to work as he has a wife and kids and does not want to die…FOR WHAT!!!??? No ship is going in AND out until the workers are GUARANTEED they will not die! <–good luck fixing THIS! Dumbest administration in US History, expect BIGLY mistakes ahead! The Strait of Hormuz is CLOSED PERMANENTLY!

    2. India is on a buying spree. It's getting oil and gas from Iran, Russia and US making it hard for the rest of the Asian countries to keep up. India is paying over premium price and diverting ships.

    3. Al fake Jazeera english you are not telling the crisis of oil shortage in US and Europe and zionst epsteins Israeli and the prices that are already exploding sky high.

    4. the french gov has always said that some 40% of the oil facilities in the gulf coast states have been destroyed, since the redhat gop republican donald trump started and illegal military operation at the command of idf war criminal netanyahu in turn we have seen 20+ days of the idf bombing oil depots inside Iran and Iran striking back at other gulf coast nations that trade money or oil with the idf colony. hmm hmm Those facilties will take years to rebuild. plus this illegal war is still dragging on. 26th of March 2026. The price goods will go up since well every nation needs crude oil as a energy supply for transportation. Like ships, planes and even trucks.

    5. Preemptive striker shattered world economy all looses except. MAGA,,
      MY ASSETS GREATER AGAIN,INSIDER OR OUT SIDER STORY ASK ESRAILLIS,TWO IN ONE.

    6. The market price for oil is no way near the price which oil is settled for.
      That price is payed outside the market and is much higher.
      And probably done outside of USD 😉
      Which is the main reason we have a war in the first place 🙂

    7. Maybe the affected countries could re-evaluate their relationship with those behind the war (US/Isr/UK/Ger), which is also an attack on their own economies.

    8. YouTube, we left troops for the oil. Now he realise Iran 🇮🇷 is not Venezuela. Exodus is imminent. The hundred 💯 years of the EZEKIEL prophecy comes to the end. Iran 🇮🇷 to free Palestine and establish the permanent peace to the world 🌎

    9. The philippines just received its firstcrude oil delivery from russia today. Govt is buying 2million barrels in a span of 2 weeks. More supplies are coming in from other sources as well

    10. It’s irritating that every updates rehashes same old info, fir3 werks they say 20% of worlds oil goes though Hormuz. It’s just irksome.

    11. Meanwhile, we should free the 9,000 Palestinian hostages in Israel's vile prisons before they are executed. Open the border to Gaza. Their crisis is far greater than anyone else's.

    12. Americans, please do something about your president. Meanwhile, Asian countries affected like Philippines, Japan and others should end our alliance with the United States and remove all US bases in the country.

    13. Right wing Japan kissed Trump’s behind and now is going to find out about their foolish mistake. Failing, desperate country, led by an unqualified dummy.
