Caption: G7 Signals Action To Stabilise Energy Supplies As Oil Prices Surge. Leaders from the Group of Seven say they are prepared to take action to support global energy supplies as the conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel drives volatility in oil markets. During emergency talks with the International Energy Agency, finance ministers discussed options to stabilise supply, including a potential release of strategic oil reserves. However, no agreement was reached. Oil prices briefly surged close to $120 a barrel amid fears that the conflict could disrupt shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical energy corridors. The IEA warned that production cuts and shipping disruptions are increasing risks to global markets. Officials say member countries hold more than 1.2 billion barrels of emergency reserves which could be deployed if the crisis deepens and energy supplies come under further pressure.
