PNN – A senior official at the International Energy Agency called the US war against Iran the greatest security threat.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, in the midst of the US-Israeli war against Iran, Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, told the British newspaper Financial Times on Friday that a war with Iran is “the greatest threat to global energy security in history.”
He had also said in recent days that it may take at least 6 months for the normalization of energy flows from the Persian Gulf.
The amount of oil that has been cut off is more than the amount that was cut off during the shocks of the 1970s, he said. The amount of gas that has been cut off at the moment is more than double the amount that was cut off from Russia to Europe in 2022.
Birol noted that energy prices may continue to rise as long as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is affected.
