The United Nations has cautioned that the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran is generating serious threats to global food security, with effects likely to persist long after the conflict ends. Rising energy costs and restrictions on shipping have disrupted supply chains, while attacks on chemical plants in the Gulf region have significantly damaged global fertiliser production. The warning, raised by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, highlights particular concern for vulnerable food-importing nations that depend on affordable fertilisers and stable freight routes to sustain agricultural output.
