Caribbean import-fuel crisis.

// The hypothesis

Iran-war fuel prices and tight regional refining leave fully import-dependent Caribbean states unable to secure affordable diesel and jet fuel.

14 Caribbean economies · diesel + jet fuel + power

// Modelled impact

Power generation, tourism and air links are squeezed across the islands; several governments turn to emergency fuel financing.
