The war with Iran almost tripled the profits of American oil companies According to a report by the New York Times, more than 50 major American oil and gas companies made more than 130 billion dollars in profits between April and September 2026; A figure that was less than 47 billion dollars in the corresponding period last year. This profit increase was recorded at a time when the Iran war disrupted global energy supplies and raised fuel prices. According to this report, the American refineries enjoyed a higher profit rate due to the damage to the refining facilities in the Middle East and Russia and the reduction of the fuel supply capacity.
