Speaking to Sky News, the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency warns of a deepening global energy and fuel crisis amid the Iran war. “Most governments underestimated this,” Fatih Birol says. “It is the reason why I labelled this as the largest energy crisis in history.” “It’s not only for energy, but also for the food, agriculture sector and others. It’s a major economic threat for the time being,” he adds. He also urges European governments to exercise caution, saying Russia remains, in his view, “one of the beneficiaries of this crisis”. #iran #war #fuel #energy #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.
