The war waged by the United States and Israel against Iran is having a serious impact on the global economy, disrupting the stability of international trade. This is stated in publications by international media outlets.

Following Iran’s retaliatory strikes, tensions in the Persian Gulf have sharply increased. In particular, operations in the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil passes, have been nearly paralyzed. This situation has immediately affected energy markets.

According to available data, the global price of Brent crude oil has already exceeded 90 dollars per barrel, while gasoline prices in the United States have risen by about 34 cents within a week. Natural gas prices in Europe have also increased by about 80 percent, raising new concerns about inflation.

The war is having a particularly severe impact on multinational companies. Many companies are already facing supply chain disruptions, a sharp rise in logistics costs, and limited access to maritime routes.

Problems have also emerged in the industrial sector. Aluminum prices have surged after some major producers in the Persian Gulf region temporarily suspended their operations. This region supplies about 8 percent of the world’s aluminum.

The technology sector is also facing a complicated situation. The shortage of certain key components supplied from the Middle East may threaten global microchip production. In addition, drone attacks in the region have damaged data transmission infrastructure, raising concerns regarding digital security.

Economists warn that if the war continues, it could slow global economic growth. Some analysts even predict that if oil prices reach 100 dollars per barrel, global economic growth could decline by about 0.4 percent.

Experts warn that a prolonged conflict could cause serious financial damage both to international companies and to the economies of many countries around the world.
