Effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted oil and natural‑gas supplies.

Oil and natural‑gas prices rose higher because of the combined effects of the Strait of Hormuz closure and the attacks on energy facilities, according to cnn.com.

An Israeli strike hit Iranian facilities linked to the South Pars gas field and was described as a significant escalation, according to cnn.com. Iran responded by attacking major energy facilities of its Persian Gulf neighbours and Israel, according to cnn.com. New attacks on energy facilities, including those processing South Pars natural gas, increased pressure on global supply, according to cnn.com.

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to “blow up” South Pars if Iran did not stop its attacks, according to cnn.com.

Countries across Asia and Africa are accelerating adoption of solar, batteries and electric vehicles to reduce dependence on imported natural gas and oil, according to gdelt. The Philippines imported more than $400 million in solar panels from February to May, according to gdelt. More than four months had passed since the beginning of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, according to gdelt.
