What Does Iran’s Energy Security Crisis Mean for the World?
About The Event
The Iran war has expanded well beyond the Persian Gulf, heightening concerns over regional stability as the United States continues to push for regime change. Iran has responded by effectively shutting down the Strait of Hormuz—prompting oil and gas prices to skyrocket across the globe. What does the Iran war mean for global energy production? How long can major economies absorb rising oil and gas costs? And what are the long-term geoeconomic and geopolitical implications of Iran’s energy security crisis?
Rachel Bronson, Lester Crown nonresident senior fellow on energy and geopolitics at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, discusses with Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, and Raad Alkadiri, senior associate for the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
