Europe has ‘maybe 6 weeks of jet fuel left,’ energy agency head tells the AP

PARIS (AP) — The head of the International Energy Agency warns Europe has about six weeks of jet fuel left. In an interview Thursday with The Associated Press, Fatih Birol expressed concerns about possible flight cancellations if oil supplies remain blocked by the Iran war. He described the situation as the largest energy crisis ever faced, with significant global repercussions. The Strait of Hormuz closure affects oil, gas, and other vital supplies. Birol predicts higher gasoline, natural gas, and electricity prices worldwide. Asian countries like Japan, Korea and India are on the front line, with Europe and the Americas affected next.
