$130 billion profit of American oil companies in the shadow of the Iran war While the Iran war caused the world energy market to face a crisis, major American oil and gas companies made unprecedented profits. According to LSEG data, the total profit of 51 major US oil companies exceeded $130 billion from April to September 2026; A figure almost three times that of the corresponding period last year, which was less than 47 billion dollars. Disturbance in the passage of oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, damage to the energy infrastructure and the increase in fuel prices were the main reasons for this jump. On the other hand, American consumers have paid about 150 billion dollars extra for gasoline and diesel since the beginning of the war; That means more than $1150 per household. | A few seconds site Yes Instagram.
