REUTERSThailand should brace for a prolonged period of energy volatility and intensifying geopolitical rivalry as conflicts in the Middle East threaten to disrupt global oil supplies, experts warn. The forum was organised by Thailand Science Research and Innovation in collaboration with the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre and Thai PBS. Speakers said geopolitical conflict, the global energy transition and demographic change are reshaping Thailand's strategic environment. Panellists warned the war involving the United States, Israel and Iran could keep global energy markets volatile. Thailand's energy security is already under strain.
