The International Energy Agency (IEA) is holding an emergency meeting on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, to evaluate global energy security and market conditions amid the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol convened the meeting of member states to assess potential disruptions to oil supplies and consider releasing emergency oil reserves. The meeting follows a G7 discussion on stabilizing energy markets, as oil prices have surged due to concerns about shipping disruptions and reduced output. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil transit route, has been effectively shut down due to the conflict, raising concerns about broader impacts on global economies if the war continues.
