War Hits the Gas Pump: Iran, The Strait of Hormuz, and Energy Markets | The High Top

March 24, 2026 • 4:00 – 5:00 pm EDT

In this episode of The High TopJon B. Alterman, Brzezinski Chair in Global Security and Geostrategy, and Joseph Majkut, Director of the Energy Security and Climate Change Program, examine how the war in Iran is reshaping global energy markets.

They explore the conflict's implications for energy pricing, how infrastructure damage could have consequences that outlast the fighting, and the implications of prolonged, low-level conflict on Gulf security and the reliability of global energy supply chains.

This event is made possible through general support to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
