# Could an Iran–U.S. Crisis Disrupt LNG Markets Even Without a Crude Oil Shortage?

Most headlines about a possible Iran–U.S. conflict focus on crude oil. But could natural gas buyers face serious disruption even if oil keeps flowing? I’m wondering how much global liquefied natural gas depends on shipping routes near the Gulf, and whether buyers could replace delayed cargoes quickly.

Would the effects show up first in prices, delivery schedules, or competition between countries for available cargoes?
