Pakistan has intensified efforts to secure fuel supplies from Gulf countries as the Iran-US war continues into its second month.
Authorities say coordinated efforts are underway to ensure uninterrupted petroleum supply across the country.
As the Iran-US conflict stretches into its second month, Pakistan has contacted three key countries to secure petroleum products. Officials confirmed that Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kuwait are playing a crucial role in maintaining fuel supply.
The move aims to prevent shortages and stabilise the domestic energy market.
Crude oil shipment from Saudi Arabia
Pakistan has successfully arranged a crude oil shipment from Saudi Arabia. According to officials, a crude oil ship was brought through the Yanbu port in Saudi Arabia.

This shipment forms part of the country’s efforts to diversify supply routes amid regional uncertainty.
Multiple fuel cargoes from Oman
In March, Pakistan imported six cargoes of petroleum products from Oman’s ports. These included five shipments of petrol and one cargo of diesel.
The imports helped strengthen fuel reserves during a period of heightened geopolitical tension.
Kuwait assures diesel, jet fuel
Pakistan has also received assurances from Kuwait regarding continued petroleum supply. Kuwait Petroleum Corporation has committed to providing diesel and jet fuel.
This support is expected to further stabilise the country’s energy supply chain.
Officials from the Ministry of Petroleum stated that Pakistan remains in contact with all Gulf countries. They emphasised that efforts are focused on maintaining an uninterrupted supply of petroleum products despite ongoing regional challenges.
The government’s proactive measures highlight the importance of energy security as geopolitical risks persist. With the Iran-US war impacting global supply routes, Pakistan is working to ensure stability in its fuel supply system.
