The suspension or slowdown of cargo flows through key routes threatens supply chains that connect Asia, the Gulf, and Europe. For regional economies, the interruption of trade with Iran, long known for exporting relatively affordable goods, could trigger price increases. Countries that rely on Iranian imports for certain consumer and industrial products may soon feel upward pressure on domestic inflation.
