Energy triage hits Asia as Iran conflict tightens oil and LNG supplies
TL;DR Summary
The Iran conflict is forcing Asia into energy triage, with governments rationing power and shielding households as they compete for scarce oil and LNG routed through the Strait of Hormuz. Japan and South Korea tap reserves, India guards LPG subsidies, and Southeast Asian nations cut demand with shorter workweeks and price supports, while Europe shifts to long-term energy security strategies; if disruptions persist, prices rise and industrial output could slow.
