The US carried out more strikes on Iran to pressure Tehran to stop attacking vessels and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Wednesday that the passage will stay shut until the US ends its strikes and the blockade of Iranian ports.\nRenewed tensions have already pushed Asian buyers to seek more cargoes. Pakistan purchased its most expensive spot shipment in four years at around US$20.70/mmbtu, according to traders, as a planned delivery from Qatar was cancelled due to Hormuz disruptions. Other countries including India, Thailand and Bangladesh have also recently issued tenders for supplies.\n\nShip movements have slowed to a near standstill since the US resumed its naval blockade of Iran after a wave of attacks on commercial vessels, although a handful of them have still made the crossing. A prolonged disruption would keep LNG supplies tight, particularly for Asia, where buyers rely heavily on Qatari cargoes. Spot LNG is now trading at roughly twice its pre-war level.\n\"For Asian buyers, this further delays the hopeful return of Qatari volumes,\" Evan Tan, an LNG analyst from ICIS, said. \"Assuming geopolitical tensions continue into the next couple of months, a storage-short Europe and firm Asian demand will have both regions bidding up spot prices through later parts of the year,\" he added.\nUploaded by Liza Shireen Koshy","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"isLaohu8Offline":false,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.46.0","shortVersion":"4.46.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2652421361","isCrawlerRequest":true}
