The coming summer will be difficult for Europe due to fuel shortages caused by the war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen said on Tuesday, writes Reuters.

The EU is preparing measures to curb the impact the war is having on jet fuel supply, Jorgensen told reporters in Madrid.

"If needed we may redistribute and share jet fuel resources we have," he said.

European airlines have warned of jet fuel shortages within weeks as a result of the Iran war. ⁠About 75% Europe’s jet fuel supply comes from the Middle East.
