CnbcADNOC Upstream CEO Musabbeh Al Kaabi warned of significant economic consequences if disruption in the Strait of Hormuz continues amid the war in Iran. Al Kaabi made the remarks in an interview with CNBC's Dan Murphy that was published two hours ago.
He spoke directly to CNBC's Dan Murphy on the conflict in Iran and the potential impacts of any prolonged closure or interference in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. The executive also discussed the UAE's decision to leave OPEC during the conversation.
CNBC reported that the interview covered the war in Iran, the impacts of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, and the UAE's exit from the oil producers' group.
