Gas reserves in Europe have reached their lowest level in 13 years amid the consequences of the US and Israel's war of aggression against Iran. EU gas storage facilities were at only 75% capacity at the end of October, falling below the mandatory target of 80%. Disruptions to maritime transport through the Strait of Hormuz, in the context of the US and Israel's war against Iran, have raised global gas prices and raised concerns about Europe's ability to get through the winter - a period of greatest demand for heating - without interruptions in supply.
