Imagine you're driving a car, and the price of petrol and diesel keeps changing every day. This is happening in Pakistan because of a big global crisis. A war between the US and Iran has made it hard for oil to be shipped around the world, and Pakistan is feeling the effects. To help its people, the government is changing the price of petrol and diesel every day.

The largest disruption to the world energy supply since the 1970s is driving daily pricing in Pakistan. The 2026 US-Israel war on Iran triggered a massive global fuel crisis. Iran blocked shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which previously handled about 25% of the world's seaborne oil trade. The United States retaliated with an extensive naval blockade on Iranian ports. A temporary ceasefire briefly restored hope in June, but the truce completely collapsed on July 8 following renewed strikes on commercial vessels. Iran immediately closed the strait again. The US military subsequently launched consecutive rounds of airstrikes to force it open. These relentless crossfires and blockades continue to strangle global oil shipments. Consequently, Pakistan must now navigate the crisis with daily price adjustments at the pump.
