LONDON/OSLO, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Six months into the U.S.-Iran war, ‌Qatar is among the conflict's biggest economic casualties, ‌with its liquefied natural gas exports slashed by 96%, data shows.

Saudi ​Arabia, the UAE, Iraq and Kuwait have seen their oil exports hit, but by nowhere near as much.

Qatar has lost $24 billion in gas sales, which is ‌about five months' ⁠worth of income for the country based on 2025 data, Reuters calculations show.

While neighbouring ⁠Gulf exporters have managed to sneak oil secretly out of the Strait of Hormuz, Qatar has exported just ​18 LNG ​cargoes, down from 509 ​in the same period ‌last year, according to data intelligence firm ICIS. Two Qatari tankers have been attacked.

State-owned LNG producer QatarEnergy did not respond to a Reuters request for immediate comment.

Before the war Qatar supplied about one-fifth of ‌the world's daily LNG. Exports from ​the U.S. have offset some ​of that lost ​supply.

Still, European gas storage has fallen ‌to a historic low for the ​time of year, ​exposing the continent to possible gas price spikes in the event of a cold winter this ​year.
