March 15 (Reuters) - Chief executives of major U.S. oil

companies warned official of U.S. President Donald Trump's

administration that the energy crisis triggered by the Iran war

is likely to get worse, The Wall Street Journal reported on

Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The CEOs of Exxon, Chevron ( CVX ) and

Conocophillips ( COP ) warned in a series of White House

meetings last Wednesday and in recent conversations with Energy

Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum that

the disruption to energy flows through the vital Strait of

Hormuz waterway would continue to create volatility in global

energy markets, the report said.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
