"The United States has enough energy to power a wartime industrial mobilization. What it potentially lacks, however, is the infrastructure required to deliver that energy to the places where it is needed." Read more from @CSISEnergy: csis.org/analysis/energ…

Two days ago, my friend and @CSISEnergy colleague @JosephMajkut released an #energyshots podcast episode about why @ENERGY and @IEA #strategic reserves draws matter but weren’t enough to stop #oil prices from rising on the #HormuzCrisis. Check it out if you missed it: csis.org/events/energy-…

“It has been the privilege of a lifetime to lead CSIS for the past 26 years, and there is no one better prepared to lead our institution into its next chapter than General Dunford.” Watch John Hamre introduce General Joseph F. Dunford:

Today, CSIS announces retired Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, the 19th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has been named our next CEO, succeeding John Hamre, who announced last year that he will retire after 26 years of transformational leadership. Read more: bit.ly/4b383Ha

Great to join @MelissaLeeCNBC @michaelsantoli at 4pm on @CNBC @CNBCOvertime to discuss #Iran, #oil, #tankers and risks to the #Strait of #Hormuz with my @CSISEnergy colleague @ClaySeigle: cnbc.com/video/2026/03/…

This morning on our latest #EnergyShots podcast, @CSISEnergy Director @JosephMajkut and I discussed ongoing threats to the #StraitofHormuz...including naval #mines. If you missed it, here it is: csis.org/events/energy-…

Why are oil prices suddenly surging compared to the more moderate market reaction last week? What threats would tankers face in the Strait of Hormuz? @CSISEnergy expert @ClaySeigle answers these questions and more: csis.org/analysis/iran-…

As I said on #energyshots today with @CSISEnergy Director @JosephMajkut, there are two ways to think about a gargantuan strategic reserves release: “One is the market says, ‘Oh, thank God you’re coming to rescue!’ The other side of that is, ‘Oh, my God! You’re doing that?!’ And so I think there may be some consequences to that action. As you start to draw down that security blanket in a moment of acute distress, you’re also saying to the market, ‘we’re burning that security in a moment of acute distress!’” csis.org/events/energy-…

What are the economic implications of closing the Strait of Hormuz? In a new episode of Energy Shots, @CSISEnergy experts Joseph Majkut and Kevin Book discuss Iranian oil, the IEA member countries' oil stock levels, and more. Watch here: csis.org/events/energy-…

NEWS | @CSISEnergy expert @ClaySeigle joined @wolfblitzer on @CNN to discuss oil market impacts from Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and what we might see next.

The Russian economy has been largely resilient four years into the war, but how is its nuclear industry faring? Russia’s nuclear export strategy and outlook are profoundly strained by western sanctions and rising competition from China— a development analyzed by @CSISEnergy's Jane Nakano in their latest report.
