IGP and CGEP Rapid Response: The Israel-Iran Conflict’s Impact on Energy Markets

Past Event

June 26, 2025

2:00 pm - 3:00 pm edt

As the Israel-Iran conflict continues to unfold, it remains unclear whether a ceasefire will hold or fighting will resume. This uncertainty carries significant implications for energy markets in the Middle East and around the world. Disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz—a vital corridor for global oil and gas shipments—and perception of geopolitical instability could have far reaching impacts. Join the Institute of Global Politics and the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia SIPA for a Rapid Response webinar featuring a panel of experts discussing the latest developments in the conflict and its potential impact on the global energy markets.

Speakers include:

  • Jason Bordoff, Professor of Practice, Founding Director of the Center on Global Energy Policy, and IGP Faculty Advisory Board Member, Columbia SIPA
  • Jon Finer, IGP Carnegie Distinguished Fellow and CGEP Distinguished Visiting Fellow, Columbia SIPA; Former US Principal Deputy National Security Advisor
  • Richard Nephew, Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia SIPA; Adjunct Fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy; Former U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Iran
  • Daniel Sternoff, Head of Energy Aspects Executive Briefing Service, Non-resident Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia SIPA
  • Karen  Young, Senior Research Scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy, Columbia SIPA
