[SMM Steel] Iran suspends flat steel exports until end-May amid conflict-driven supply disruptions

[SMM Steel] Iran has halted exports of flat steel products, including plates and HRC, until May 30, following severe damage to its steel industry from ongoing conflict. Around 10 mln mt of annual capacity (25–30%) has been disrupted, impacting major producers such as Mobarakeh Steel Company and Khuzestan Steel Company. The supply shock is expected to tighten global availability, particularly for semis and flat products, while domestic industries face rising input costs. Although imports may partially stabilize Iran’s market in the short term, full production recovery could take 6–12 months or longer, with broader economic and trade impacts anticipated.
