long article 7 min

The war with Iran is negatively impacting the global economy as of March 2026. The conflict has led to the shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial route for oil transport, driving up energy and fertilizer prices worldwide. This disruption threatens food shortages, particularly in poorer nations, and destabilizes vulnerable countries like Pakistan. The economic fallout is further complicating efforts by central banks, such as the Federal Reserve, to manage inflation. Images from various locations, including Bangladesh, London, Portland (Oregon), Frankfurt, and Bangkok, illustrate the widespread effects of rising fuel prices and economic uncertainty.
