IEA chief: World should be worried about energy security if US-Iran fighting continues

The head of the International Energy Agency Fatih Birol says that if the US and Iran do not come together to improve flows of oil through the Strait of Hormuz soon, the world should be worried about energy security.

“Oil security is still a critical issue,” Birol tells a Council on Foreign Relations event. “We should be worried, and I am worried if the situation does not improve in the next few weeks.”
