The US-Israel conflict with Iran has severely disrupted global energy markets, particularly with the Strait of Hormuz effectively halted, causing crude oil prices to surge. Nations worldwide are implementing diverse strategies to mitigate the impact, including India's move to resume Russian oil imports, though experts caution about its long-term efficacy. Other measures involve government-mandated fuel rationing systems, as seen in Sri Lanka, and demand reduction tactics such as widespread work-from-home policies adopted by countries like Thailand and Pakistan. While these immediate responses offer some relief, analysts remain skeptical that any alternative can fully guarantee long-term energy stability given the Middle East's crucial role in global oil and gas supply.
