Kuwait has decided to reduce oil production due to a security crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. The state-owned Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) announced the decision in a statement on Tuesday, citing increased risks to maritime navigation. The company said production had already been reduced since the second week of March and would return to normal levels once the situation stabilizes. Under normal conditions, Kuwait produces more than three million barrels of oil per day.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global energy route, used daily by nearly 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas shipments. Security risks in the region have intensified since the start of the Middle East war, with several oil tankers reportedly attacked. In response, Iran has warned that vessels belonging to the United States, Israel, and their allies could face continued attacks as long as the conflict persists.
The production cut reflects Kuwait’s precautionary stance amid growing instability in the region, which has already disrupted energy supplies and affected daily life across parts of Asia.
