The war in the Middle East is rattling global oil markets, raising the risk of supply disruptions and price shocks for energy-hungry Asian economies. On today's Big Take Asia podcast, host K. Oanh Ha speaks with Bloomberg's Daniel Ten Kate and Fereidun Fesharaki, founder and chairman of FGE, about how tensions involving Iran are being watched by energy markets.

Rising geopolitical tensions are exposing Asia's top economies to the risk of a major energy shock. The conflict has already sent crude prices higher as traders price in the possibility of supply disruptions from the Middle East. Energy analysts warn that any escalation could trigger a full-blown crisis for countries that rely heavily on imported oil.

Asian economies are particularly vulnerable because they import the vast majority of their crude oil. The podcast discussion highlights which economies face the greatest exposure if the crisis escalates further. Market watchers are closely monitoring Iranian military movements and diplomatic developments as any major disruption could send energy costs soaring across the region.
