The United States’ and Israel’s ongoing war against Iran has led to a factual blockade of the Strait of Hormuz enforced by the regime, a chokepoint above all for global crude oil and LNG supply chains. What does the current crude oil and LNG market situation look like internationally? How far can easing measures such as releasing strategic national oil and gas reserves range?

In the latest edition of our web series “Better Be Prepared,” we had the pleasure of discussing these questions with our renowned energy experts Samantha Gross, Director of the Energy Security and Climate Initiative at Brookings Institution, and Dr. Samina Sultan, Senior Economist for Economic Policy and Trade at German Economic Institute. The discussion was moderated by Heike Buchter, U.S. Correspondent in the New York office of Die Zeit.
