In a live interview on Asharq News, Dr. Omid Shokri, a faculty member at George Mason University, discusses the current state and future outlook of the global energy market. He examines recent oil price movements, attributing volatility to the Russia‑Ukraine war, lingering sanctions, and shifting demand patterns. The conversation explores how China’s lifting of COVID‑19 restrictions could boost oil demand, while OPEC+ production decisions and U.S. policy tools—such as strategic petroleum reserve releases, price caps on Russian crude, and renewed sanctions on Venezuela—shape supply dynamics. Shokri evaluates forecasts from Goldman Sachs, the potential re‑entry of Iranian oil into the market after stalled nuclear talks, and the United States’ dual focus on expanding fossil‑fuel output while accelerating a transition to renewable energy under the Biden administration. Throughout, he stresses the interplay of geopolitical risk, energy security for Europe, and the need for coordinated international action to stabilize markets.
