About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Hormuz crisis on global energy security and politics.

Today’s Daily Energy Markets Podcast exposed how the Hormuz crisis is accelerating a global scramble for energy security, supply diversification, and geopolitical leverage. Sara Akbar warned Gulf states would never accept Iran becoming the “gatekeeper” of the Strait of Hormuz, arguing the region may prefer renewed conflict over surrendering energy security. James McCallum said the world is entering a “less deferential” era of energy politics, while Anne-Sophie Corbeau revealed China has imported zero US LNG cargoes since February despite the escalating crisis.
