The cost of the Iran war for EU consumers was "more than 100 billion euros".

An EU official said the rise in energy prices caused by the Iran war has cost consumers in the EU more than 100 billion euros.

EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen told the EU Energy Ministers meeting in Dublin on Tuesday, October 7: "This situation shows how harmful our dependence is and how unstable and unsustainable it is to rely on energy sources from other parts of the world."

Due to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, the price of diesel and gasoline in Europe made a significant jump and caused a significant increase in costs in the energy sector.

Meanwhile, the statements of Donald Trump, the President of the United States, regarding the suspension of American diesel exports, could have more harmful consequences for Europe, since the USA is one of Europe's main energy suppliers. The EU Energy Commissioner expressed hope that America will not stop diesel exports to Europe. He said: "In this difficult situation, preventing the free flow of energy is not in anyone's interest, not America and not us."

At this meeting, Fatih Birol, director of the International Energy Agency, said that his organization consults with its partners around the world, including the US, on issues related to diesel and gas.
