Show Notes
Tensions escalate in the Middle East, threatening global oil supply. The U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz, causing a significant oil supply disruption. Oil prices have surged, with Brent and West Texas Intermediate futures hitting levels not seen since 2022. President Trump has warned of further strikes on Irans oil export hub, and Iran has retaliated with drone attacks on an oil terminal in the UAE. The fighting has put other Gulf energy sites at risk, including Saudi Arabias Ras Tanura terminal and Abqaiq facility. The International Energy Agency has approved the release of a record four hundred million barrels from member stockpiles to ease price surges. Diplomacy remains stalled, and volatility is expected to persist in energy markets for weeks to come.
