IEA chief warns that Iran war has created global energy crisis worse than 1970s oil shocks
International Energy Agency chief Fatih Birol warned that the current Iran war has caused the world to lose 11 million barrels of oil per day, exceeding the combined impact of the 1973 and 1979 oil crises. Birol described the situation as 'very severe' and said it surpasses previous energy disruptions including those caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The crisis has led to oil prices rising above $112 per barrel for Brent crude.
