TOKYO, March 2 (Reuters) - Japanese trading house Itochu 8001.T has started to experience "some impact" on shipments of its crude oil and petroleum products from the Gulf as several ports there have been affected by fallout from the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran, it said in emailed statement.

Itochu will respond by sourcing supplies from regions outside of the Middle East, it said.
