On Thursday, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon. At the same time, Trump said American forces will remain &#8220;in place&#8221; until the Islamic Republic fully complies with the &#8220;real&#8221; ceasefire agreement. <\/p>\n<p>In this fast-changing context, Brussels, My Love? looks into the energy crisis arising from instability in the region. With guests Frederico Oliveira da Silva, head of energy at BEUC, the European Consumer Organisation, Dimitar Lilkov, senior research officer at the Wilfried Martens Centre and Marta Pacheco, EU energy and environmental reporter at Euronews, we take a look at what the instability means for our pockets. <\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-freeform\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n        \n      <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-freeform\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n<div class=\"widget__contents\">\n<div align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/special\/apple_podcast.png\" alt=\"Apple podcast\" width=\"30%\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/special\/spotify.png\" alt=\"Spotify podcast\" width=\"30%\" loading=\"lazy\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/special\/castbox.png\" alt=\"Castbox podcast\" width=\"30%\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>The energy crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to Lilkov, fragile is not only the right adjective to describe the ceasefire. \u201cFragile also applies to the whole system of energy security or energy insecurity we have,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>The closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the weeks of the conflict has pushed European leaders to reconsider their countries&#8217; dependence on imported oil. But energy instability is not new. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore the Iran war, we (EU countries) were already dealing with the domestic energy crisis,\u201d Pacheco explained. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo at this point we see we had the domestic crisis that grew into a global energy crisis,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n<h2><strong>What should the European consumers do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to Oliveira da Silva, it\u2019s still difficult to assess how bad the energy crisis is, but Europeans are already paying some of its costs. \u201cConsumers are quite concerned because prices have already increased,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>In his opinion, however, this crisis has a solution and a way forward: \u201cIt&#8217;s important that there is a unanimous support at the EU level, at the member state level, that the way to prevent this from happening in the future is with the decarbonisation of our economy and getting rid of fossil fuels,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>A transition that, according to Lilkov, is quite complicated to put into practice: \u201cWe need to be pursuing both investing in renewables and decarbonisation, but also being mindful that most of our economy, unfortunately, is still set on fossil fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Listen to the podcast in the player above or wherever you get your podcasts.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-contributors c-article-contributors-supplementary u-margin-top-2 u-padding-top-2\">\n<p>Additional sources<strong> \u2022 Georgios Leivaditis, sound editing and mixing. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<p>                          Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-partage-commentaire__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-partage-commentaire-share\"><span>Share<\/span><\/span><span>Comments<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  Podcast: Brussels Naked and more book picks beyond the headlines<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  Podcast: Everything you need to know about the Hungarian elections<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__item\">\n<h3>\n<p>                  Podcast: From Ljubljana to Copenhagen: A dramatic week at the polls<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"perf-cv-auto\">\n<ul id=\"adb-article-tags\" class=\"c-tags-list\">\n<li class=\"c-tags-list__item\">\n<p>    Iran war<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-tags-list__item\">\n<p>    energy transition<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-tags-list__item\">\n<p>    Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"c-tags-list__item\">\n<p>    Ceasefire<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"o-article-newsy__aside\">\n<div class=\"c-ad-wrapper o-article-newsy__aside__content-1\" data-ad-name=\"adzone-halfpage\">\n<div class=\"c-ad c-ad-halfpage u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/website\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-top-stories\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-top-stories\">\n<h2 class=\"c-top-stories__title\">Top stories<\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-top-stories__item\">\n<article id=\"abe-2885293-pos2-top-stories\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-2 m-modeDesktop-2 m-modeXL-2 the-media-object--has-video the-media-object--no-label\" data-nid=\"2885293\" data-cid=\"9718014\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2885293-label-pos2-top-stories\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/71\/80\/14\/320x180_cmsv2_4dbec1df-9c8b-534e-82d6-dffda02b4ec8-9718014.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Vice President JD Vance speaks to the press before boarding Air Force Two, Friday, April 10, 2026, at Joint Base Andrews, Md., for expected departure to Pakistan, for talks on\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    JD Vance warns Iran not to &#8220;play&#8221;

But it is hanging on a thread.US President Donald Trump announced the truce on his social media platform Truth, claiming it was made on the condition of Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil transport.\u00a0The ceasefire however is very fragile. On Thursday, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon. At the same time, Trump said American forces will remain &#8220;in place&#8221; until the Islamic Republic fully complies with the &#8220;real&#8221; ceasefire agreement.\u00a0In this fast-changing context, Brussels, My Love? looks into the energy crisis arising from instability in the region. With guests Frederico Oliveira da Silva, head of energy at BEUC, the European Consumer Organisation, Dimitar Lilkov, senior research officer at the Wilfried Martens Centre and Marta Pacheco, EU energy and environmental reporter at Euronews, we take a look at what the instability means for our pockets.The energy crisisAccording to Lilkov, fragile is not only the right adjective to describe the ceasefire. \u201cFragile also applies to the whole system of energy security or energy insecurity we have,\u201d he said.\u00a0The closure of the Strait of Hormuz during the weeks of the conflict has pushed European leaders to reconsider their countries&#8217; dependence on imported oil. But energy instability is not new.\u201cBefore the Iran war, we (EU countries) were already dealing with the domestic energy crisis,\u201d Pacheco explained.\u00a0\u201cSo at this point we see we had the domestic crisis that grew into a global energy crisis,\u201d she added.\u00a0What should the European consumers do?\u00a0According to Oliveira da Silva, it\u2019s still difficult to assess how bad the energy crisis is, but Europeans are already paying some of its costs. \u201cConsumers are quite concerned because prices have already increased,\u201d he said.\u00a0In his opinion, however, this crisis has a solution and a way forward: \u201cIt&#8217;s important that there is a unanimous support at the EU level, at the member state level, that the way to prevent this from happening in the future is with the decarbonisation of our economy and getting rid of fossil fuels,\u201d he said.\u00a0A transition that, according to Lilkov, is quite complicated to put into practice: \u201cWe need to be pursuing both investing in renewables and decarbonisation, but also being mindful that most of our economy, unfortunately, is still set on fossil fuels.\u201dListen to the podcast in the player above or wherever you get your podcasts.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/04\/10\/podcast-fragile-ceasefire-fragile-energy-system-how-can-european-consumers-cope&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/60\/36\/61\/1200x675_cmsv2_cfdc20f3-af88-5e78-96b2-790fa147eec4-9603661.jpg&#8221;] USA JD Vance warns Iran not to &#8220;play&#8221; US during planned negociations World News Lithuania and Azerbaijan expand ties during PM Ruginien\u0117\u2019s visit No Comment Italy: From Go to Monopoly, board games bridge generations No Comment Israel: Hezbollah rocket from Lebanon strikes Safed, injuring several people USA JD Vance warns Iran not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1876924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1876924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1876924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1876924\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1876924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1876924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1876924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
