EU says Iran conflict driving energy spikes, commissioner urges cuts
World
Energy prices are spiking across the EU, and the EU says the ongoing conflict in Iran is a big reason why.
To help manage the crunch, EU energy commissioner Dan Jorgensen is urging countries to use less energy and get ready for a tough winter ahead.

Jorgensen wants member states to keep gas storage topped up and cut back on both gas and electricity use, measures he thinks might be needed for quite a while.
The goal is to make sure Europe can handle the market and step up preparations for this winter.
