The director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), Fatih Birol, has declared that the military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran represent the most serious global threat to energy security in history. This assertion comes amidst escalating tensions and conflicts that have disrupted oil and gas supplies from the Gulf region, leading to a significant energy crisis. Birol emphasizes that even if hostilities were to cease immediately, it would take at least six months for supply chains to stabilize and recover, exacerbating concerns for energy-dependent nations.
