Six months into the US-Israel war on Iran, Qatar is among the conflict’s biggest economic casualties, with its liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports slashed by 96 per cent, Reuters reports, citing data.

Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (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 worlds daily LNG. Exports from the US have offset some of that lost supply.
