The military actions by the U.S. and Israel against Iran have led to significant disruptions in energy supply and vehicle restrictions in Southeast Asia, notably in Thailand and Myanmar.
The recent military actions by the U.S. and Israel against Iran have sparked growing concerns about energy supply issues across Southeast Asia. In Thailand, the government announced a halt in oil exports as of the first day of the month, prioritizing domestic supply stability amidst uncertainties in the Middle East. Although the country has a reserve that could sustain approximately 60 days' worth of supply, the Thai authorities aim to mitigate potential shortages due to ongoing geopolitical tensions. Furthermore, Prime Minister Anutin declared that fuel prices for gasoline and diesel would remain unchanged for 15 days in an attempt to control rising costs, yet long queues at gas stations have begun to form in response to the crisis.
