About 1/3 of the world's fertilizer supply depends on transit thru the Strait of Hormuz. US farmers will be asking for another $10-15 billion bailout to cover their losses from the sharp increase in fertilizer costs.

AI Overview
As of March 2026, U.S. farmers are facing significant fertilizer cost increases and potential shortages due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, with the White House signaling that additional financial aid is under consideration.

Fertilizer Crisis and Supply Chain Disruption
Strait of Hormuz Closure: The U.S.-Israel war against Iran has resulted in the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane for about 30% of global seaborne fertilizer trade (urea and ammonia).
Significant Shortfalls: The Fertilizer Institute estimates that US farmers face a 25% shortfall in supplies needed for spring planting.
Surging Prices: Fertilizer prices have surged, with urea rising by as much as 35% in some markets, and some estimates suggesting overall fertilizer prices have increased over 70% in certain regions.
Stuck Cargo: Reports indicate that at least 21 ships carrying over a million metric tons of fertilizer are currently trapped in the Gulf region.

Bailout and Financial Implications
"All on the Table": Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins stated the administration is open to providing further financial aid to farmers, noting that "everything is on the table" regarding new bailouts.
Previous Aid: The administration had already announced a $12 billion bailout package to help farmers with input costs and tariff-related losses in December 2025, which began distributing funds in February 2026.
Financial Strain: The potential for a new bailout is driven by the fact that many farmers already face high inflation, declining crop prices, and a 37% increase in fertilizer costs since 2020, even before the Strait closure.
Food Supply Risks: Industry officials warn that if these shortages persist through the spring planting season, the impact could extend to the national food supply, raising costs for consumers.

Impact on Spring Planting
Limited Time: Farmers have limited time to secure fertilizer for the 2026 planting season, as fertilizer must be applied before crops begin growing.

Production Alternatives: While the U.S. produces some fertilizer domestically, it relies on imports for significant portions of its urea and phosphate needs, making it vulnerable to these global disruptions.

Trump is really punishing everyone who voted for him, especially the farmers. First the tariffs, which cost farmers soybean buyers, and now fertilizer and fuel costs should be the nail in the coffin driving farmers into bankruptcy and allowing big business to snap up farms for pennies.

We know how much Trump loves big business monopolies.

"Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s refusal to authorize key US-linked bases for Iran-related operations has triggered backlash from Washington, Israel, and his domestic critics “Sánchez has wrapped himself in the flag of the ayatollahs just as he wrapped himself in the flag of Hamas after October 7.” With that accusation, Jorge Buxadé, head of the Vox delegation in the European Parliament, sharply criticized the Spanish government’s response to the war with Iran" Israel’s foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, responded publicly, criticizing Sánchez...

Some folks in US said they support Trump in this war because Trump want to bring peace to the world hahaha, I bet when they see what truly happened in Lebanon, Iran and Gaza and the rest of the gulf country maybe they will say NO WAR should be happening ever again.
They know what has and still happening in Palestine since 1933, they know what has and still is happening in Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libia, Afghanistan, Serbia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Venzuela, Cuba, they know everything. They are a bunch of immoral hypocrites living on greed and worshipping money

7%from this oil goes to US.15% to EU and 78% oil goes to others countries to Asia and South America.Most of them to China,India .
China is telling people to walk or ride a bicycle rather than support that dolt of a President. Also news flash it appears...China installs more Green Energy in a month than the USA in a Year. More than the whole world does in a year. China doesn't give a shit about what the USA wants. Photons instead of Carbon. India is getting its oil anyway. Americans are fucking fools.

Israel’s foreign minister, Gideon Sa’ar, responded publicly, criticizing Sánchez in a series of posts on X. “In January, they took Maduro away from Sánchez,” Sa’ar wrote. “Now they have taken Khamenei away from him. What will poor Sánchez do now?”
In another message, Sa’ar pointed to statements from militant groups praising Madrid’s position. “First, Hamas thanked Sánchez. Then the Houthis thanked Sánchez. Now Iran thanks Sánchez,” he wrote. “Is that what standing on the right side of history looks like?”

"
One of the most visible examples has been HispanTV, a Spanish-language television network operated by Iran’s state broadcaster. The channel began broadcasting in 2011 as part of Tehran’s effort to reach audiences in Spain and Latin America.
The network became controversial in Spain when Pablo Iglesias, later Spain’s second deputy prime minister, hosted the political talk show Fort Apache on the Iranian-funded channel from 2013 to 2019 before entering government.

Its becoming a noticeable trend now...straight batting into geopolitical revelations...lets see what happens next...

War is peace, don't ya know.
Big government is freemarket capitalism.
Destroying the US is making it great again.

You can't reason with idiots.

After WW2 they marched Germans through concentration camps to see what they had done and that wasn't even enough to change their minds.

USA does need oil to the extent that the global economy will falter with oil restrictions, growing inflationary pressures and the inflation impact on the USA which will still price its oil on international terms. This is inflationary, with no rate cuts insight!!!

The Stupidest fucking circus by the biggest buffoon leader in history. He makes Idi Amin look like a stand up kind of guy.

Nearly 80 million people voted for that buffoon. Then he threatens to take NATO territory. And now wonders why no one wants to get in volved in a war of US aggression. You all should be embarrassed as a people.

And then imagine this ....if you were born in Cambodia you dolt Christian Nationalists....you would be Buddhist.

Think about that. Religious wars over shit you have dreamt up in your imaginations.

There are reports suggesting that Iran intends to assassinate Trump, making it a key goal for its leadership. This vendetta is deeply personal, as Trump was responsible for the death of Iran's leader's father. Should Iran experience further provocations, it is likely to activate its Houthi allies in Yemen to impose a blockade on the Strait of Bab El Mandeb, which spans 18 miles and separates Yemen from the Horn of Africa. Such a move would disrupt another crucial trade route. Located between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, the strait also connects to the Indian Ocean. As a result, this would make the Suez Canal inaccessible for northbound shipping traffic, and vessels heading south through the canal would be trapped in the Red Sea
