Greenpeace has called for all parties to immediately halt further military action, for international law to be fully upheld, and for a return to diplomacy to stop the suffering of civilians. The people of Iran, and all people, everywhere, have the inalienable right to live free of violence, fear and coercion. As humans we grieve for lives lost, and for all those who suffer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But while countless people experience the consequences of this latest mass violence, some interests will no doubt attempt to benefit from the crisis. We can expect that fossil fuel corporations and lobbyists will cynically use the closure of the Strait of Hormuz-a major shipping route for oil and gas-to propagandise for increased fossil fuel production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical reality is that a country as rich in renewable sources of energy as Australia should not be hostage to the global fossil fuel trade. The pursuit of fossil fuels\u2013coal, oil and gas\u2013have been the source of vast scale conflict, violence and geopolitical volatility for far too long. This will only accelerate as the climate crisis\u2013itself driven primarily by fossil fuel extraction and burning\u2013continues to put greater pressure on natural and social systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is<s> <\/s>that the only absolute way to provide true energy security for the world is to phase out fossil fuels rapidly and deliberately, at emergency speed and scale, and to accelerate the shift to modern, renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s in the strategic interest of all countries, including Australia, to unhook from volatile sources of energy. As long as our world runs on oil and gas, our peace, security and our pockets will always be at the mercy of geopolitics. As Professor Hussein Dia <a class=\"external-link\" title=\"This link will lead you to theconversation.com\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/the-strikes-on-iran-show-why-quitting-oil-is-more-important-than-ever-277192?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20March%203%202026%20-%203691837747&amp;utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20March%203%202026%20-%203691837747+CID_4cf90a80debe949970ec24e6cf544d8a&amp;utm_source=campaign_monitor&amp;utm_term=The%20strikes%20on%20Iran%20show%20why%20quitting%20oil%20is%20more%20important%20than%20ever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">argued<\/a> in The Conversation yesterday, this latest war in the Middle East shows why quitting oil is more important than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These events are another jarring reminder that Australia doesn\u2019t need more fossil fuel investment\u2013we need less.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Locally controlled renewables are the best way to address the structural vulnerability at the heart of this recurring crisis. Ultimately, our freedom and security, prosperity and sustainability, are all best served by shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dependence on fossil fuels makes all of us hostage to geopolitics and the whims of tyrants.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greenpeace Hungary send a message that it\u2019s unacceptable that the Hungarian government refuses to support an EU-wide embargo of Russian crude oil and refined products. \u00a9 Zsuzsi Dorgo \/ Greenpeace Like so many people around the world, I am experiencing a sense of horror at the escalating violence in Iran and the Middle East.
