🔻Wall Street Journal: Iran War Has Made the World's Most Used Chemical Scarce

🔹Sulfuric acid, known as the most widely used chemical compound on Earth, plays a vital role in the production of phosphate fertilizers, copper and nickel extraction, computer chip manufacturing, and even municipal water treatment.

🔹At the same time, China, as the world's largest sulfur producer, has imposed strict export restrictions to ensure domestic food security and control fertilizer prices.

🔹This move has put the most pressure on countries like Chile (the largest copper producer) and Indonesia (a key nickel producer for electric vehicle batteries), raising prices in these regions by up to 80%.
