The International Energy Agency (IEA) has taken unprecedented steps by coordinating a massive release of oil from strategic reserves. This measure aims to counteract the energy price surge driven by the ongoing U.S-Israel conflict with Iran.

In an effort to alleviate the burden on consumers, the IEA proposed practical measures such as telecommuting, lowering highway speed limits, and reducing reliance on air travel.

IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol highlighted the importance of global collaboration, emphasizing that these proposals are vital to protect consumers from escalating energy prices and inflationary effects.
