Trump followed Netanyahu into a war with Iran. Tehran answered by choking the Strait of Hormuz. Now the price of reopening it may be billions in frozen assets.

Trump and Israel reportedly wanted to replace Iran’s hardliners with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. When that is your regime-change master plan, the lunatics are clearly running the war room.

New Zealand may still get fuel supplies, but escalating Middle East conflict could soon send petrol prices into economic shock territory.

For 40 years US war planners warned attacking Iran would trigger economic chaos, regional war and humanitarian catastrophe. Trump ignored all of it, and now the world may pay the price.

A fertiliser shock from the Iran conflict combined with a severe El Niño event could create the conditions for a catastrophic global famine.
The real danger from the Iran conflict may no longer be military defeat, but global economic collapse, fertiliser shortages and food insecurity spreading worldwide.

The biggest danger from the Iran conflict may not be oil prices, it may be the collapse of global food supply chains feeding billions of people.

The Iran conflict may be about to hit your supermarket bill. Fertiliser shortages, drought and collapsing crop economics are forming a dangerous global storm.

The Strait of Hormuz must reopen, but that doesn’t mean New Zealand should fight someone else’s war.
