The EU is weighing mandatory jet fuel stockpiles and possible regional redistribution as shortages loom from the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran. The proposal signals a defensive policy response to supply risk in aviation fuel, with potential implications for fuel logistics and regional availability across Europe. The news is negative for energy-market stability but does not yet reflect an enacted policy change.
