EU Commissioner for Energy Dan Jørgensen has quantified the severe economic impact of the Middle East conflict on Europe, stating it has cost the bloc €24 billion in extra energy costs since the crisis began. This amounts to approximately €500 million per day, a burden felt by all EU countries, industries, and residents. The commissioner's statement directly links these costs to the ongoing war involving the US and Israel against Iran. The figures underscore the widespread economic fallout of the conflict beyond the immediate region.
