          Vendors transport jerrycans filled with petrol on their motorcycles on the outskirts of Quetta, Balochistan province, Pakistan, 30 March 2026. The trade in smuggled Iranian fuel, a long-standing livelihood for many in Balochistan, has been increasingly affected by the recent US-Israel-Iran conflict, which has disrupted cross-border supply routes and driven up global oil prices.
