The war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have dragged on, and now Europe has only about six weeks of jet fuel left. The International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris has issued a dire warning of flight cancellations if the situation at the strait does not change.

The executive director of the IEA, Fatih Birol, said that there would be flight cancellations 'soon' if oil supplies from the Middle East are not restored within the coming weeks. 'I can tell you soon we will hear news that some of the flights from A to city B might be cancelled as a result of lack of jet fuel,' Birol told the Associated Press.
