The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for three months threatens the food security of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt in the first place, the Security Council of the Russian Federation reported.

In the event of a conflict in the Middle East, attempts by external forces to artificially undermine Russia's food security cannot be ruled out,

The conflict over Iran poses risks to Russia's food security, but it also opens up opportunities for agricultural producers.

If the conflict in the Middle East persists until the summer, there could be the largest round of global food inflation in recent years.
