  Blockade Prolongs Disruption

  Iran maintains the blockade and QatarEnergy’s import program only covers part of the export shortfall. Buyers in Japan, South Korea and Europe push for replacement cargoes, keeping energy risk premiums elevated.

  Qatar uses its diplomatic channels with Iran, Oman and major Asian buyers to negotiate a partial reopening or protected energy corridor. Because the market has already priced severe disruption, even limited access would ease oil and LNG risk premiums quickly.
