Stockholm och New York 27 mars. Hormuz, global food crisis
The blackest of black swans
The longer Trump’s war drags on, the worse the coming global food crisis. The war in the Gulf has hit the epicentre of global fertiliser /gödningsmedel/ production.
The crunch is happening just as the big farming belts of the northern hemisphere near the spring planting season and just as Australia approaches winter planting. It is the blackest of black swans.
“It will be bad enough even if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened tomorrow but if the war goes on for another month or more, it is going to be a really horrifying crisis unlike anything any of us have ever seen before,” he said.

Gulf states are a major source of fertilizer, and it’s too late to avert the effects of an export disruption.

The Iran War Is Now All About the Future of Hormuz
If Iranian leaders are, as Donald Trump says, “begging” him for terms to end the war, they have a very odd way of showing it.
Tehran views control of the Strait of Hormuz as a potential route to its longer-term survival and a geopolitical tool and deterrent, which could give Iran enormous leverage and upend the freedom of navigation guaranteed by the US Navy.
US deploying a small ground force to the Persian Gulf and Iran legislating to turn the Strait of Hormuz into a permanent toll booth — and it seems we are in for a longer conflict.
