John Mearsheimer on economic consequences: One third of the world's fertilizer comes through the Strait of Hormuz. This is going to create major league inflation, increased food prices and result in the deaths of many people all around the world. The potential for disaster is not to be underestimated.
Yesterday, in exchange for releasing 250 political prisoners, US government lifted sanctions from Belarusian fertilizer industry.
Coincidence? I think not.
