Overview of the Crisis While the understanding reached between the parties on Wednesday has strengthened expectations of easing tensions in the region, recent developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz have once again highlighted the sensitivity of global energy markets to geopolitical risks. Prepared by Buse Yücel and Adem YILDIRIM under the World Energy Council Türkiye Young Energy Leaders Programme and the Energy Markets, Finance and Investment Working Group, this report was developed to assess the risks and potential scenarios that emerged during the crisis period. While some of the scenarios discussed in the report may have evolved in light of recent developments, the analysis continues to provide valuable insights into the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz within the global energy system, its role in energy security, and the potential market implications of supply disruptions. We invite energy professionals, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to explore the report and its findings. #WECTürkiye #YoungEnergyLeaders #YEL2026 #EnergySecurity #EnergyMarkets #NaturalGas #OilMarkets #StraitOfHormuz #EnergyTransition
