The sulfuric acid shortage caused by the Iran war is now threatening commodity production.

Sulfuric acid is essential for processing ores into metals. The market was already tight, with prices up ~500% even before the conflict.

The Middle East accounts for ~24% of global sulfur production, and producers typically hold only a few weeks to 2 months of supply.

Without sulfuric acid, production drops.

- ~20% of global copper
~50% of uranium
- ~30% of nickel production

Depend directly on it.

But mining isn't the only sector competing for supply.

Around 60% of global sulfuric acid is used to produce phosphate fertilizers. Without it, fertilizer production falls, putting food production at risk.

To protect domestic industries, countries including Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkey have imposed sulfur export restrictions, squeezing an already tight market.

With critical energy infrastructure being destroyed, these shortages won’t disappear even if the Strait is reopened... they will persist.

I like to think it's not impossible that Trump's gang is awaiting to receive the 20% payment to allow this Qatari LNG carrier to go to Pakistan.

It's odd that they accused Iran of blocking it .. when it's literally stuck in the US Navy blockade lane area, close to Oman.

📈 Iranian Armed Forces Spokesperson, Brigadier General Akraminia:

"We made the most of the agreement and the ceasefire, utilizing every moment. During this period, the import of new equipment, the repair and reconstruction of damaged systems, and the production of new systems were prioritized. The new drones that we have recently used are also a result of taking advantage of the opportunities created during the ceasefire."

Russia destroyed the main highway bridge in Slovyansk, Donetsk Oblast, using several KAB glide-bombs, as a part of their ongoing offensive towards the city.

This is the only road bridge within Slovyansk connecting the western part of the city with the eastern suburbs, and is a vital logistical route for Ukrainian forces to reach the approaching frontline.

It's destruction forces Ukraine to use the main highway bridge further north, or roads in and around Kramatorsk, for logistics.

[Chay Bowes @BowesChay]

Russian troops are now less than 5km from Slavyansk and Kramatorsk

The final "Fortess cities" will soon be encricled, ground into submission, and with them the last plausible defence in Donbass will end.

Just like Konstantinovka, western media will ignore it as instructed
