आंकड़ों में
Eurasia Group President Ian Bremmer predicts that the new tension between Iran and the US will permanently affect freight transport passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Although the strait is not expected to close completely, attacks on ships, rising insurance costs, and the risk of a new conflict are adding a permanent premium to freight prices.
Brazil's agricultural sector and fertilizer market are directly affected by this situation. Brazilian fertilizer producers and importer companies such as Mosaic, Yara, and EuroChem are vulnerable to the increase in the costs of raw materials as well as ready-made fertilizers. Mosaic, in particular, which is a sulfur importer, had to restrict its operations across the country due to raw material scarcity.
Bremmer believes that Iran will continue to use the Strait of Hormuz as an economic and political pressure tool. Although the US has no intention of entering a long war, it is stated that the tension and high costs in the region will persist in this unbalanced environment where the US will not allow Iran to determine the rules alone.
