Claim 1: “National governments will start to unilaterally take action, subsidising energy consumption or act to secure energy supplies, and this will inevitably increase the cost of natural gas and oil in Europe”

INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE

No evidence was gathered from cross-references, web searches, or Wikipedia to support the claim that national governments *will* unilaterally take actions leading to increased natural gas and oil costs in Europe. The absence of evidence prevents corroboration, but since no evidence was found at all, 'insufficient_evidence' is the correct verdict.

Claim 2: “The Iran war has provoked 'the largest oil supply disruption in history'”

SINGLE SOURCE

The claim that the Iran war caused 'the largest oil supply disruption in history' is supported by one cross-reference from The Guardian, linking high gas prices to the Iran war's supply disruption. However, no other independent sources corroborate the superlative claim ('largest in history'), and no other evidence was gathered to confirm this magnitude.

cross reference SUPPORTS — High gas prices are directly related to the Iran war causing supply disruption.
