One simple reason
No, you missed fuel cost.
I realize it is too complex for you to follow, but fuel cost is
part of the reason fertilizer has gone up so much.
Thanks, President Trump.
Fuel costs like Iranian fees on Hormuz passage?
Fuel costs like a mined strait and 100s of tankers idled?
Fuel costs like Hamas and Hezbola?
You're a useful idiot, Eddy P.
All brought on by President Trump.-a As one of his followers, you
are the useful idiot.
It was better when we had crack cocaine in the White House?
Trump secretly authored the Balfour Declaration too...

The history of the region does suggest answers, however. In the Middle East, politics and the incessant drumbeat of war, ultimately have everything to do with a substance more valuable than gold: Oil.
The modern problems in the region result not from ancient hostilities but from the actions of modern governments on behalf of big business. To understand whatrCOs going on in the Middle East today, we need to go back only a hundred years.
A century ago, the map looked much different. There was no Iraq, no Jordan, no Israel, no Lebanon. The Ottoman Empire, stretching from the Balkans to North Africa, enveloped much of the region. Powerful, industrialized European nations with empires of their own rCo especially Great Britain rCo had a keen interest in the Middle East.
Britain had already seized the southwestern tip of the Arabian peninsula from the Ottoman Empire and forced the rulers of small territories along the Persian Gulf to sign treaties placing their foreign affairs in British hands. Britain backed Ibn Saud, whose family had been the traditional leaders of a fundamentalist Islamic sect, in his bid to become the ruler of a small peninsular kingdom.
BritainrCOs goal was to safeguard the sea route (through the Suez Canal) to India, then a valuable part of its worldwide empire. To head off the Russian empirerCOs advances southward, Britain signed a treaty with Russia in 1907 that divided Iran (Persia) into three zones, one British, one Russian, one neutral rCo without the Iranian governmentrCOs knowledge or involvement.
Britain was already interested in oil, Iranian and otherwise. TodayrCOs British Petroleum can be traced back to the Anglo-Persian Oil Co., founded in 1909. The British government soon acquired a controlling interest in the company.
