Iran's oil ministry said on 11 August 2026 that it expects to restore some 95 million cubic meters of lost daily gas output by the end of September, as the government repairs energy facilities damaged during the conflict with the United States and Israel. The announcement is part of Tehran's effort to reassure domestic consumers and reduce the risk of shortages ahead of the winter demand season. The statement came as global energy prices rose amid fading expectations of a US-Iran understanding that would reopen normal traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials have presented the repair timeline as evidence that the country's energy infrastructure can recover from strikes, though the scale of the damage and the pace of reconstruction have not been independently verified.
