News India Live, Digital Desk: The conflict in West Asia is no longer limited to just regional tensions, rather it could prove to be the beginning of a major economic cycle for the entire world. Renowned geopolitical expert Brahma Chellaney has made a shocking claim regarding the disastrous consequences of the Iran war. According to Chellani, the effects of this war will last for decades and could lead to a severe food shortage around the world, or a ‘global food crisis’.
Supply chain collapses, kitchen will be hit by inflation
Brahma Chellaney has warned that instability in Iran and its surrounding areas will have a direct impact on the global supply chain. Since this region is the hub of energy and trade routes, transportation costs will increase significantly. Its worst impact will be on the production and export of fertilizers, due to which the cost of farming will increase and the prices of grains will start skyrocketing. In the coming times, it will become a big challenge for poor and developing countries to feed their citizens.
Will have to suffer the consequences for decades
The expert believes that modern wars are not limited to borders only. A direct confrontation with a country like Iran would shake the pillars of the global economy that are already under pressure following the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Chellani has indicated through social media and his writings that the post-war reconstruction and refugee crisis will present challenges to the world that will take generations to resolve.
Energy crisis and changing geopolitics
The Iran war would bring a huge surge in the prices of not only food grains but also oil and gas. According to Chellani, if important trade routes like the Strait of Hormuz are affected, there will be chaos in the global energy market. This will not only cripple the economy of oil importing countries like India, but will also completely change the diplomatic equation between powerful countries like America and China.
What is the signal for India?
This warning of Brahm Chellani is also a red signal for a country with a huge population like India. In the event of a global food crisis, ensuring the food security of the country will be the priority of the government. Experts say that India will now have to step forward more aggressively on international forums, so that the flames of this global ill-effects of war do not cause much damage to the domestic economy.
