This war is on its way to causing a huge energy crisis globally of the kind that happened in 1973, as headlines like these show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBW-zXeaHTQ - France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40 percent of Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed

At least in this one the channel are leftist oriented enough to mention US and Israel at the start, never to mention them again, but listen to Christine Lagarde at 4:21 - None of us, none of us can resolve the uncertainty about how and when the Ukraine war will end and how the war in Iran will play out.

Note how she keeps the names of the aggressors out of the wars naming. In the former the Europeans wilfully cut themselves of Russian energy and in the latter the whole thing is out of their control. Question is how do you develop the proper mindset to fix problems when the root causes of the problem are kept out of the descriptions of the problems?

Note how in the above video the narrator says at 0:23 - "The US/Israeli conflict with Iran is now disrupting global energy supplies"
