ZHAW Podcast Episode on “Diesel in the Aftermath of the Iran War”
Geopolitical conflicts can extend far beyond the immediate theatres of war – particularly when they affect global energy systems. In the latest episode of the ZHAW podcast Geopolitics in Motion, Khaldoun Dia-Eddine analyses the impact of the Iran war on global diesel supplies and explores what this development reveals about the dependencies of the global economy.
Diesel is far more than a fuel. It is a key factor in transport, agriculture, industry and numerous global supply chains. When geopolitical conflicts disrupt the production, refining or transportation of energy, the effects can quickly spread across regional borders.
In the latest episode of Geopolitics in Motion, the podcast of the ZHAW Center for Geopolitics and Competitiveness, Khaldoun Dia-Eddine examines the geopolitical background of the energy shock and its consequences for global diesel supplies. The episode highlights how closely energy supplies, international markets and geopolitical developments are interconnected.
At the same time, the episode shows how geopolitical tensions expose existing dependencies and vulnerabilities in the global economy – and why a sound understanding of geopolitical dynamics is becoming increasingly important for businesses and decision-makers.
