United States and Israel conduct military operations against Iran

United States and Israel are conducting military operations against Iran.
Why it matters
United States and Israel are conducting military operations against Iran. The fighting has disrupted global oil supplies at scale; the International Energy Agency described the situation as the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. Energy and commodity interruptions have constrained LPG and fertiliser flows and reduced electricity availability in multiple countries. Governments and businesses have implemented measures including a four-day workweek to conserve electricity in the Philippines, petrol rationing in Sri Lanka, removal of gas‑intensive dishes from restaurant menus in India, and temporary price or rent freezes in some jurisdictions.
Implications
- · Reduced energy availability has forced cuts to operating hours and electricity use for businesses and public services.
- · Fuel and LPG shortages have triggered rationing and service or menu changes in retail and hospitality operations.
- · Fertiliser supply constraints are disrupting agricultural input availability and production cycles in affected markets.
- · Emergency policy measures (rationing, price or rent controls) are being deployed as immediate economic stabilizers.
Who is affected
- · Energy suppliers and utilities
- · Agricultural producers and fertiliser-dependent farmers
- · Retail and hospitality operators
- · Transport and logistics operators
