Ce conflict are un impact mai mare asupra prețului petrolului: cel din Iran sau cel din Ucraina? • Newsweek România

Recent analyses compare the impact of the Ukraine conflict and tensions in Iran on global oil prices. The ongoing war in Ukraine has significantly altered gas routes and Russian oil deliveries to the West. Meanwhile, conflicts in the Middle East, particularly around Iran, have caused immediate disruptions in crude oil and diesel supplies. Estimates suggest that disturbances in the Gulf have blocked substantial volumes from global reserves, pushing oil prices to critical levels and increasing logistics costs worldwide. While the Ukraine crisis has long-term structural effects due to sanctions on Russia, the situation in Iran acts as a sudden shock to international stocks, directly affecting refineries and raising the risk of a diesel crisis in Western markets. The debate continues regarding the ability of major powers to stabilize maritime trade routes and prevent soaring energy prices in the near future.
