ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods addressed the global oil supply situation amidst the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel.

This statement comes at a time when tensions in the Middle East have raised concerns about the stability of energy supplies from the region.

Military strikes between Iran and Israel have heightened concerns about potential damage and disruptions to the region's crucial oil and gas fields. The conflict has prompted industries, including Big Oil, to reassess the risks and potential impacts on their operations. Tanker operators have begun avoiding Gulf routes due to the heightened tensions, leading to a significant increase in freight rates. This shift has added to the market's fragility, as the stability of oil supplies remains uncertain.

Egypt has initiated a comprehensive emergency energy plan in response to the escalating tensions. The country is working to balance its limited fuel supplies against the surging national demand, which has been exacerbated by the conflict. The situation underscores the broader regional impact of the Iran-Israel conflict on energy markets and supply chains.
