Fossil fuels provide 81 percent of global energy, with oil the largest source. The US-Israel war on Iran has disrupted energy flows and prompted governments to reassess energy security. The Middle East is a major oil producer, and key waterways—including the Strait of Hormuz—carry substantial oil and gas shipments. Reduced traffic and longer shipping routes are raising costs for countries reliant on Gulf supplies.
