A spokesperson for Cyprus, which holds the EU's rotating presidency and chairs meetings of EU countries, announced on 27 March 2026 that EU energy ministers would hold an extraordinary video call on Tuesday to discuss the impact of the Iran war on European energy security of supply. The emergency meeting reflects growing European concern over Hormuz closure disruption to oil and gas imports, with Europe still heavily dependent on Gulf energy flows through intermediary markets. The EU meeting is concurrent with the G7 ministers' pledge at their France meeting to mitigate global economic shocks including energy supply chain disruptions.
