The head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that the world should be concerned if the situation in the Strait of Hormuz does not improve, according to a report by Israeli news outlet ynet. The statement adds to growing international unease over the strategic waterway, which has been subject to disruptions amid regional tensions. As The Zioneer has reported, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres expressed concern on June 11 over restrictions on freedom of navigation, warning that they are driving up energy prices and damaging supply chains. The IAEA has also issued multiple warnings about Iran's nuclear program and the situation in the region. The IEA chief's remarks come as the standoff over Hormuz continues, with Iranian-linked threats to close the strait if Israel does not withdraw from southern Lebanon. The full dispatch is available on ynet.
