Iran’s oil exports face persistent challenges due to ongoing U.S. sanctions, which have tightened supply routes and financial restrictions. Meanwhile, Russia’s energy sector is under severe strain following repeated strikes on its oil infrastructure, disrupting exports and sending global markets into uncertainty. With Iran’s own production constrained and Russia’s supply chain in disarray, the crisis could create unexpected opportunities for Tehran to fill gaps in the energy market. Analysts are watching closely to see how these shifts may reshape trade dynamics in the coming months.
