Dr Carole Nakhle, CEO of Crystol Energy, is quoted in this Newsweek article on the role Iran and Venezuela, two countries with some of the largest oil and gas reserves globally, could play in the current gas crisis.
According to Dr Nakhle, lifting the sanctions without achieving the objective that led the US to impose those sanctions, to start with, will create a more challenging situation in the coming years.
There would likely be some benefit to doing so. While it is difficult for anyone to ascertain exactly how much lifting sanctions would alleviate global energy costs, in a tight market with heightened geopolitical risks, every additional barrel helps to ease pressure on prices.
