In this Persian‑language Politics365 interview, host SPEAKER A welcomes Dr. Omid Shokri, an expert on energy and energy diplomacy, to discuss the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and its cascading consequences. The conversation moves from a heartfelt acknowledgment of the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza—mass civilian casualties, lack of water, electricity, and medical care—to an analysis of how the conflict reshapes regional security (Hezbollah’s possible involvement, Lebanon’s fragile economy, Iran’s role) and the broader Middle‑East diplomatic architecture (the Abraham Accords, Saudi‑Israel normalization, US policy, sanctions on Iran). Shokri then explains the immediate and longer‑term effects on energy markets: disruption of Israeli offshore gas production, threats to Egypt’s gas export pipeline, the strategic importance of Turkey‑Europe gas routes, and the potential acceleration of Europe’s shift away from Russian gas. He links these energy dynamics to political calculations in the United States, noting how the Biden administration’s response, the timing of the attack around a Jewish holiday, and the release of frozen Iranian funds could influence the 2024 election. The interview concludes with a synthesis of the humanitarian, security, diplomatic, and energy dimensions, emphasizing that the conflict’s ripple effects will shape Middle‑East peace prospects and global energy security for years to come.
