Prices Doubling Within a Month of War

Prices Doubling Within a Month of War

Between the period preceding the outbreak of the #US–Iran war in late February and what followed—when it quickly escalated into a broader regional conflict—prices of many food and industrial goods saw a noticeable increase. However, the most significant impact was on fuel prices, which surged sharply, alongside rising bread prices.

At the same time, concerns are mounting over the possible return of long queues at gas stations and the gradual depletion of fuel supplies—raising the risk of a chain of overlapping crises affecting food, energy, healthcare, and beyond. These fears continue to grow amid an increasingly uncertain landscape and an open-ended conflict with no clear limits or horizon.
