Since the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran began, Iran has largely blocked ships from passing through the critical Strait of Hormuz, causing a global crisis as the prices of oil, natural gas and fertilizer soar.
“We’re not just talking about potential spikes in food prices … but also potentially key shortages in the commodities that are necessary to produce food, like fertilizers,” says Adam Hanieh, director of the SOAS Middle East Institute at the University of London. “Many of the countries that are going to be most potentially impacted by this are already in conditions of famine or near famine.”
