How is the US-Israel war on Iran impacting energy and the global economy?
1 April 2026, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Location: Online
Think tank: Chatham House
This event hosted by UK think tank Chatham House discusses the evolving energy and economic implications of the US-Israel war on Iran.
The US-Israel war on Iran has already led to high jumps in global energy and gas prices. The continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and the escalation of strikes on energy sites, threaten long-term damage to the region’s energy sector and economy.
In this webinar, experts discuss the evolving energy and economic implications of the US-Israel war on Iran and its impact on global markets. Speakers will also assess risks to energy supply, trade flows, and inflation, as well as the broader shift toward economic fragmentation and heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
The session will also examine how Gulf economies are navigating these pressures, including their resilience, policy responses, and pathways to recovery in a more volatile global environment.
