UN warns US-Iran fertilizer transit impasse risks food crisis within weeks

UN officials confirm a high risk of a global food crisis within weeks if a US-Iran agreement on fertilizer transit through the Strait of Hormuz is not reached. The impasse, linked to ongoing US-Iran tensions, threatens agricultural productivity and global food security, particularly in Asia and Africa. Specifics on the transit route, volume, and the exact nature of the 'UN-backed plan' remain unclear.
