    The Eneos Negishi refinery. In the context of the ongoing US-Iran war (which began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February 2026), Japan's energy security—already precarious due to its negligible domestic oil reserves of around 44 million barrels—has come under acute strain.Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation has disrupted roughly one-fifth of global oil flows, hitting Japan particularly hard. The country sources over 90-95% of its crude oil from the Middle East, with the vast majority transiting the strait. To mitigate shortages and soaring prices, Japan has undertaken its largest-ever release of strategic petroleum reserves. This includes an initial 80 million barrels (about 45 days of consumption) announced in mid-March, followed by additional drawdowns: private-sector stocks equivalent to 15 days and state-held reserves for another 30 days. The releases aim to stabilize domestic supply and prevent economic fallout amid the largest supply disruption in decades.The Eneos Negishi refinery.
