The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
The International Energy Agency (IEA) warns that Europe has only about six weeks of jet fuel remaining in its strategic reserves, with stocks expected to reach a critical tipping point in June. This crisis stems from Iran's effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for jet fuel from the Gulf region, which has blocked Europe's ability to replace at least half of its Middle Eastern imports. The situation threatens widespread flight cancellations across Europe if supplies remain disrupted.
