'Largest energy crisis in history,' IEA chief warns as global fuel fears grow

Speaking to Sky News, the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency warns of a deepening global energy and fuel crisis amid the Iran war. “Most governments underestimated this,” Fatih Birol says. “It is the reason why I labelled this as the largest energy crisis in history.” “It’s not only for energy, but also for the food, agriculture sector and others. It’s a major economic threat for the time being,” he adds. He also urges European governments to exercise caution, saying Russia remains, in his view, “one of the beneficiaries of this crisis”. #iran #war #fuel #energy #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Listen to our new podcast This is Why, available for free here: https://podfollow.com/thisiswhy To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
