What happened
An International Energy Agency report warned that the Iran war exposed major energy risks for Southeast Asia due to overreliance on oil and gas transported through the Strait of Hormuz. The report noted that the energy shock led to higher energy bills and rising inflation in the region. Separately, U.S. forces lifted the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz following an agreement between the U.S. and Iran.

Why it matters
The IEA warns that without faster diversification of energy sources, Southeast Asia’s energy import bill could triple to $245 billion by 2035. The conflict has spurred changes, including renewed interest in nuclear power and increased rooftop solar installations across the region.
