Following recent military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran, shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to affect global energy supplies. According to Jin10, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico issued a warning on March 20, highlighting the risk of an oil crisis in Europe due to multiple compounding factors. Since the strikes on Iran, the European Union has incurred additional costs exceeding 6 billion euros due to rising fuel prices. Fico emphasized that these developments, combined with Europe's current economic situation and substantial support for Ukraine, create a 'volatile combination.' He cautioned that the future could be dire, with the potential for an oil crisis. Fico urged the EU to expedite the resumption of operations for the 'Friendship' oil pipeline.
