The fallout from the ongoing Iran war is reverberating across Africa, disrupting fuel supplies and driving up costs that threaten food security on the continent, according to a Bloomberg News report.

The full impact is still unfolding, but the warning signs are clear: African nations heavily reliant on imports face a looming crisis.
