            <description><![CDATA[Liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices could rise further in significant volatility than experienced so far during the Iran war if supply disruptions coalesce with hot weather in Asia and European storage refill needs, German energy multinational Uniper's CE for the Middle East, John Roper, said on Wednesday.

The current supply disruptions have hit Asian countries excluding China harder than Europe so far, and the consequences will be felt until at least 2030 as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and damage to facilities took most of the LNG supply growth from 2025-2026 off the market, Roper said.]]></description>
