Iran's natural gas exports to Turkey reached approximately one billion cubic meters in the first two months of 2026, with a 3.5-fold increase.

The first shipment of liquefied natural gas since the start of the war in the Middle East has apparently passed through the Strait of Hormuz and exited the Persian Gulf.

The CEO of the National Gas Company of Iran regarding the gas consumption management program for the year 1405 said: The main four axes include replacing and optimizing consumption, intelligent restriction and quota, prioritization and information dissemination, and cultural actions, which will be on the agenda of the National Gas Company of Iran.

The price of gasoline worldwide rose following the onset of the American-Zionist aggression against Iran on February 9, which disrupted the supply of oil and petroleum products from the Middle East, but the increase was severe in some countries.

The CEO of the National Gas Company of Iran, upon receiving a message of appreciation from the Oil Minister, told employees: "What happened today in South Pars proved that the human capital of the Iranian gas industry is a reliable and national pride, even in the toughest moments."

While only a few months remain until the end of Iran and Turkey's gas contract, Ankara has announced that no negotiations for extending the vital agreement have yet begun; a development that could cast a shadow over the region's energy security.

The European Union has warned its member states that if the war with Iran continues, energy markets will face a long-term supply shock; a situation that could lead to sharp price increases and even mandatory reductions in fuel consumption in Europe.

After the announcement of a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States and the reduction of tension in the Strait of Hormuz, the price of natural gas at Henry Hub fell by 20% to $2.77 per million British thermal units. The end of the winter season and the decrease in heating demand have also contributed to this downward trend.

The president of the CNG industry association said: All 2,300 CNG stations in the country are operational at full capacity.

The CEO of the National Iranian Gas Company, recalling the highest gas consumption recorded in the household, commercial, and small-scale industries on February 2, with 737 million cubic meters, said: "This figure represents an increase of 34 million cubic meters compared to last year's maximum consumption."
