Iran's steel industry is undergoing significant changes due to disruptions from the recent US-Israeli war, affecting production, trade routes, and regional competition. While exports have declined, allowing competitors like China to gain market share, Iran's industrial infrastructure remains largely intact.

• Disruptions from the war damaged facilities and logistics, reducing steel exports.
• China, India, and Turkey are increasing their presence in Iran's market.
• Iran's steel industry retains key advantages like iron ore reserves and integrated supply chains.
• Global steel prices initially rose but are expected to stabilize as new capacities enter the market.
