The impact of the Iran war on Iran and its drone and missile launches could reopen EU debate over banning Russian natural gas imports, according to Norway's energy minister. European gas prices have risen by 75% this week, reaching multi-year highs. Norway's Energy Minister, Terje Aasland, stated that the EU has been clear about wanting to remove itself from Russian oil and gas. An Iranian Revolutionary Guards senior official warned that Iran would fire on any ship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
