The Iran war disrupted Middle Eastern fossil fuel supplies, driving oil prices sharply higher and accelerating global clean energy adoption, especially in China, developing Asia, and Africa. This shift benefits non-Gulf fossil fuel producers and clean tech exporters, while importing regions and Gulf states face higher costs and damaged infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The Iran war is forcing you to pivot away from fossil fuels as supply shocks make clean energy cheaper and more reliable. If your startup targets energy or mining, now is the time to deepen your ties with markets accelerating electrification, especially in Asia and Latin America.
