About This Crisis

OilCrisisTracker monitors the global energy impact of the 2026 Iran conflict. Following US-Israeli strikes on Iranian oil infrastructure in February 2026, the Strait of Hormuz — through which approximately 21 million barrels of oil pass daily — has been severely disrupted. This tracker provides real-time data on fuel prices, strategic reserves, fertilizer costs, and food security risk across every country in the world.
