EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen has warned that the coming summer could be extremely challenging for Europe's energy markets due to instability stemming from the Middle East conflict. He specifically cited the joint military aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran as a key factor driving the risk. Jørgensen stated there is a high probability of further increases in energy prices and a deterioration of overall market conditions. The summer period could bring additional pressure on the EU's energy system, with prices likely becoming more strained in the coming months.
