Mojtaba’s hidden revenge? Iran war triggers global food crisis; fertilizer shock raises famine fears
Published on Apr 18, 2026 12:37 am IST
A new, far more dangerous fallout of the Iran conflict is emerging—not just missiles, but a looming global food crisis. Disruptions in fertilizer supply chains, especially nitrogen-based inputs critical for agriculture, are now threatening crop cycles worldwide. Warnings from humanitarian voices like José Andrés suggest the world could be heading toward a silent famine, as blocked trade routes and sanctions choke off supplies needed for farming. With tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalating, delays in fertilizer shipments risk missed planting seasons, reduced yields, and a cascading surge in global food prices.
