Qatar officials estimate LNG production units with 12.8 million tons of annual capacity that were expected to come online in 2026 will instead take three to five years to repair.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3681910497024650536MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cWhen LNG buyers can&#8217;t get the gas from the original source, they take it from whoever might have it available, and right now that&#8217;s basically the U.S. and Australia,\u201d said Eric Smith, associate director of the Tulane Energy Institute.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3681910497024650536MsoNoSpacing\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Smith notes that hundreds of ships \u2013 including many LNG vessels \u2013 are currently trapped in the Persian Gulf north of the Strait of Hormuz, preventing them from delivering their cargos, further complicating the delivery of LNG in global markets.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Iran is a rogue state, and right now the country is lashing out at everyone and everything in an effort to save its tyrannical regime.
