The International Energy Agency (IEA) has agreed to release a record 400 million barrels of oil to mitigate supply disruptions linked to the ongoing conflict in Iran.
This decision is particularly critical as the Iran war continues to obstruct maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key chokepoint for global oil shipments.
The release aims to stabilize market conditions by increasing available supply, addressing potential shortages that could arise from the geopolitical tensions in the region.
