The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that the latest U.S. sanctions against Russian oil could lead to significant disruptions in Russia's supply and distribution chains. The report, released on Wednesday, highlights potential impacts on the global oil market.
Despite these sanctions, the Paris-based agency has maintained its supply forecasts for Russia and Iran for the current month, citing uncertainties regarding the complete effects of the new measures. These actions by Washington are poised to tighten crude oil and fuel balances, a development that could affect global oil markets.
The IEA's findings emphasize the complex interplay between geopolitical actions and global energy dynamics, as stakeholders in the sector closely monitor potential shifts in oil production and distribution.
