‘A full spectrum crisis’: how the Iran war went global

Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has already pushed up oil
prices. But is a bigger global economic disruption yet to come?
And how long will it last?


The Telegraph’s World Economy Editor Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
joins Roland Oliphant to explain why the Iran conflict is sending
shock waves around the world - and not just in the oil
market. 


From fertiliser to helium to sulphur, the block on shipping
through the Strait carries other key commodities used by the tech
industry, hospitals and farmers. Ambrose explains how the war
will almost certainly cause a global food shock in 2027. 


They also discuss how Russia and China are benefitting from the
Iran war and why the Houthis in Yemen remain the dog that hasn’t
barked - but could make things even worse than they are now.


Plus, Roland Oliphant and senior foreign correspondent Sohia Yan
analyse the latest news from the Iran war, including Donald
Trump’s ongoing attempts at peace talks with Tehran, the US
Navy’s first ever use of unmanned surface boats and why AP is now
calling Israel’s attack on Lebanon an invasion.
