The ongoing Iran war and the potential for Petroleum prices to exceed US$200 a barrel, coupled with disruptions to Fertilizer exports, are expected to trigger significant supply shortages and price rises across global energy and food markets. This will have severe repercussions for the global economy, particularly impacting middle-income and fragile economies.
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi urged US President Donald Trump to intervene and stop the Iran war, emphasizing that only Donald Trump has the capability to do so. Speaking at the Egypt Energy Show 2026 in Cairo, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi warned of severe economic consequences, including Petroleum prices potentially soaring above US$200 a barrel and a looming global food crisis due to disruptions in Fertilizer exports. The Gulf Cooperation Council's Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi also condemned Iran's attacks on Gulf Arab states and energy infrastructure, as well as its closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which has significantly impacted global oil supplies. The ongoing conflict and its potential escalation pose a direct threat to global energy security and international law, with member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, having faced drone and missile attacks.
