Australian Treasury officials warn that the Middle East oil crisis could become worse than the initial phase, according to a Treasury briefing cited by multiple outlets. The assessment indicates that more fuel supply is at risk now than during the first period of disruption related to the war. The briefing characterizes the situation as a potential “oil shock” scenario, suggesting further strain on supplies and possible impacts for prices and availability. While the reporting focuses on the scale of supply risk, it does not provide detailed figures in the cited summaries. Both sources present the message as part of an ongoing government evaluation of economic and energy exposure, emphasizing that the current stage may carry greater disruptions than the earlier phase. Overall, the articles align on the core point: Treasury believes additional fuel supply vulnerabilities could emerge, and therefore the effects may intensify if conditions in the Middle East deteriorate further.
