The Iran war is already the biggest threat to global shipping and supply chains since COVID

More bad news about the economic fallout from the Iran war by the Wall Street publication Market Watch today. Rising oil prices are not the only thing threatening the U.S. economy, but there could be disruptions of supply chains and higher shipping costs, like we saw during COVID.

From MarketWatch:

The price of food, AI chips and more could rise as supply-chain disruptions touch industries across the spectrum

Iranian strikes on cargo ships and on Oman’s biggest port have ratcheted up concerns about the global shipping business, adding another economic dimension to the conflict beyond higher energy prices.

The cost of shipping goods around the world is on the rise due to the situation in the Middle East. A composite index tracking spot global container-shipping prices is up 8% this week, and it’s up nearly 12% since the start of the conflict in Iran.

While container cargo flows are nowhere near as dependent on the Strait of Hormuz as the shipment of crude oil and crude products, the overall crisis compounds supply-chain risks and costs.

War is a growing threat to the global supply chain, already fragile after other recent geopolitical shocks and under pressure from the Trump administration’s tariffs, said Antonella Teodoro, an economist and analyst at freight and logistics consultancy MDS Transmodal.

The Iran conflict is likely the most significant threat to global shipping and supply chains since COVID, she added.

Over the past year, the administration under President Donald J. Trump has delivered a string of victories to Bayer.

"They told us this 20 years ago. See, we're always reacting to them instead of realizing they tell us 20 years ahead what they're doing. We're already in the ghetto. See, I think it's a mistake to say it's coming. It's not coming. We've been in it for 20 years.

I mean, you look at a smartphone, people will tell you 'oh my God, oh my God, we are going to die. Did you know?' And then they're holding up their smartphone. I'm going, you do realize you're holding up the number one device of control? Give it up and they can't give it up." Brendon O'Connell of Youtube.com/@Talpiot_Program 📲🛂

"So all it takes is one deep fake video of someone to get upset and file a lawsuit and make it mandatory for digital ID. That's coming.

Biometrics are coming. AI is being run again without guardrails. AI makes it much faster and more effective to hack. Right now,
hacking and and cyber crimes and identity theft are at an all time high and they're escalating at a rapid rate. That's going to create a demand for biometrics.

All these hackings will occur until people are put into a position where digital ID is mandatory for Internet usage. It will happen. There's nothing that's going to stop that at all at all. And then biometrics will be used to protect your personal finances..." Eric Rice of Youtube.com/@thericereport 📲🛂

Operation Ajax (1953): The CIA’s Template—and Warnings for Today

In light of the US’s actions against Iran and the overt goal of regime change, it is worth recalling the original, covert regime change the CIA brought about in Iran and its decades-long consequences. The 1953 Iran coup is widely recognized as the first major covert regime-change operation carried out by the CIA and served as a template for future interventions. It set key precedents in technique—bribery, propaganda, covert action, and the installation of a non-Communist, US-friendly repressive regime—that were replicated throughout the Cold War and later operations. The long-term geopolitical impact and resentment in the region still shape US-Iran relations.
