On March 24, 2026, IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol issued a dire warning regarding the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
2026年3月24日，國際能源署（IEA）執行總裁法提赫·比羅爾（Fatih Birol）針對中東地區持續的衝突發出了嚴峻警告。
He described the current situation as a major global economic threat, eclipsing the severity of the 1973 oil shocks and the 2022 Ukraine crisis.
他形容當前局勢是一項重大的全球經濟威脅，其嚴重程度超越了1973年石油危機與2022年烏克蘭危機。
The heart of the problem lies in the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy artery that handles 20% of global oil and gas shipments.
問題的核心在於荷姆茲海峽（Strait of Hormuz）的封鎖，這是一條處理全球20%石油與天然氣運輸的關鍵能源動脈。
The IEA reports a staggering loss of 11 million barrels of oil per day and a massive shortfall in liquefied natural gas.
IEA報告指出，每天損失了高達1100萬桶石油，液化天然氣亦面臨巨大缺口。
The crisis extends beyond fuel, disrupting the supply of fertilizers and chemicals, which threatens global agriculture and manufacturing.
這場危機不僅限於燃料，更擾亂了肥料與化學品的供應，進而威脅全球農業與製造業。
As oil prices surge past $100 per barrel, governments are turning to emergency stockpiles and demanding conservation measures like remote work to mitigate the impact.
隨著油價飆升至每桶100美元以上，各國政府正轉向緊急儲備，並要求採取遠端工作等節能措施以減輕衝擊。
