OPEC+ has delayed its oil production capacity review after the war in Iran disrupted expansion plans. Reuters reported that the alliance postponed the assessment because the ongoing conflict has hindered infrastructure development and essential expansion projects.

The postponement comes as geopolitical tensions make it difficult to accurately assess the future production potential of member nations. This decision suggests that capacity expansion is progressing more slowly than previously anticipated, creating uncertainty regarding future global oil supply growth.
