The U.S. implemented a naval blockade on Iran earlier this week. Laleh Khalili, a professor of Gulf studies who researches the shipping and logistics industry and its impact on the global economy says it could lead the U.S. military to begin “firing on ships that it assumes are Iranian or carrying oil from Iran or other cargo to Iran.” Iran, in response, could “interpret this as a belligerent action,” ending the fragile ceasefire agreed to by both parties. “Iran is going to defend itself against this imperial imposition, and how it's going to do that remains to be seen.”
Meanwhile, explains Khalili, shipping disruptions in the Gulf have affected the supply chains of key resources including oil, aluminum, helium and fertilizer. "Transportation costs are going to be higher, so food prices are going to be higher; people's MRIs are going to be scheduled out by six months … semiconductor manufacturing is going to be affected," Khalili says. "The crisis is only going to get more horrific before it gets any better."

In this report, The Spearhead’s McKay Chukwu examines how public anger in South Africa is often directed at African migrants instead of the deeper economic structures driving inequality in the country.
Using recent controversies involving Nigerians in South Africa, the piece shows how frustration is quickly turned toward foreigners while the legacy of apartheid, land dispossession, and the concentration of wealth remain largely untouched.
Xenophobia is a distraction from the real sources of hardship for many Black South Africans, leaving Africans divided against one another while the systems that benefit from that division stay firmly in place.
