Data published in the statistical graphic titled "Price Increases Since the Start of the US and Zionist Regime's War on Iran" up to May 15, 2026, shows that global markets for energy, raw materials, and basic commodities have experienced an unprecedented surge, a surge that many analysts attribute directly to geopolitical tensions and Western support for Israel.
According to these figures, the highest price increase is for sulfur, with a staggering 96% rise, placing it at the top of the chart. Sulfur is a key material for the chemical industry, agricultural fertilizer production, and energy refining, and its price jump could put pressure on a wide range of industries.
In the energy sector, European natural gas has seen a 59% increase, a serious warning for Europe's industrial economies. Also, US WTI crude oil is up 58%, jet fuel and heating oil each 56%, gasoline 52%, and diesel 51%. Brent crude has also become 50% more expensive.
These figures indicate that the energy market has been more affected by the regional crisis than any other sector, and concerns over disruptions to Middle Eastern export routes and the security of strategic waterways have created a wave of turmoil in global markets.
Price increases have not been limited to fuel; essential commodities have also entered the cycle of inflation. Urea is up 24%, rice 21%, and chemical fertilizers 20%. Iron ore has risen 12%, coal 10%, and palm oil 9%.
Economic experts warn that continued tensions could trigger a new wave of global inflation, inflation that will hit the middle class and ordinary consumers the hardest. In many Western countries, higher fuel costs directly raise transportation, food, and public service prices, thereby reducing household purchasing power.
This data shows that the economic cost of US and allied support for Israel is now directly visible in the energy bills, gasoline prices, and food baskets of European and American citizens. Under such circumstances, many governments are forced to strike a difficult balance between continuing geopolitical policies and controlling domestic economic pressures.
This data, published in collaboration with Charlie Bilello, the analytical account "Americana_jr," and Creative Planning, provides a clear picture of the war's impact on the global economy—a picture showing that today's political crises are transmitted to people's livelihoods far more quickly than in the past.
