# After Israel Strikes Iran, Heightened Focus on Wartime Premiums in Fertilizer Market - AgWeb

> Fertilizer analysts say the Israel-Iran strikes pushed North American urea prices up about $50-60 per ton, with international markets rising substantially as wartime premiums are priced in. Even without direct damage to production at that point, the market was reacting to supply risk from the region. Iran is a major nitrogen and potash trade player, and the region is critical for global fertilizer shipments.
