Al Jazeera: Could a War With Iran Trigger a Global Food Crisis?

Al Jazeera's 'Counting the Cost' program asks whether a military conflict with Iran could trigger a global hunger crisis. Iran's strategic location on the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil passes, means any disruption could spike food and energy prices. Experts warn that the fallout would disrupt agricultural supply chains, particularly for grain-dependent nations in Africa and Asia.
