Iran War Economic Fallout: Airlines, Energy Markets, Supply Chains and Global Disruption

The ongoing Iran war and associated blockade caused cascading global economic disruptions. Spirit Airlines sought emergency US government bailout, Air Canada suspended multiple routes, and jet fuel prices soared across Asia. The US extended its Russian oil sanctions waiver for another month. Gasoline prices are expected to decline but full recovery could take months. Asian nations pivoted to green energy and nuclear power, while Malaysia's rubber glove makers raised prices 40%, threatening global hospital supply chains. The Iran war energy shock is prompting significant structural changes in global energy dependence.
