Agenda: Deliberating on the escalation of the Iran–Israel/ US Conflict and threats to Global Energy Security with special emphasis on the Strait of Hormuz
The recent escalation of the Iran–Israel conflict, with continued involvement from the United States, has intensified instability across the Middle East. What began as a strategic confrontation has evolved into a broader regional crisis, raising serious concerns about humanitarian consequences, geopolitical motives, and the disruption of global energy flows. The world is facing a turning point in the global energy market, with entire countries screeching to a halt due to rising fuel prices. Meanwhile, in the search for further oil deposits to extract from, the United States has made its way into several untapped oilfields within the last decade such as Iraq and Venezuela. More importantly, the control of the Strait of Hormuz is vital to the transportation of crude, and further pressure on it chokes the supply of energy to many countries reliant on Middle-Eastern oil and natural gas. This committee questions the true intentions behind the unrelenting American support in this conflict. Delegates must deliberate not only on the humanitarian impact of such wars but also on the economic chokehold an energy monopoly may propose.
