What happened

Well supportedReported by 12 independent outlets

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.
