The Iran War at Six Months: Energy, Markets, and National Security
Transcript — August 24, 2026
In this conversation, CSIS scholars and guests will look back at how markets and policy have adjusted to the closure and intermittent reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the role that energy infrastructure has played as a target in modern warfare. They will also look ahead to how energy flows and shipping are related to ongoing negotiations and the potential long-term implications of this latest energy crisis.
This event is made possible by general funding to CSIS and the CSIS Energy Security and Climate Change Program.
