# U.S. media: "The war launched by the world's wealthiest countries is making the most vulnerable pay the price"

An article published by CNN on March 13 states that the war launched by the world's wealthiest countries is forcing the most vulnerable populations to bear the costs. The article mentions that the military strikes jointly conducted by the United States and Israel against Iran have led to a tightening of global fuel supplies. One of the world's most critical energy transport routes—the Strait of Hormuz—has effectively come to a standstill. When the wealthiest countries in the world engage in a costly war (with think tanks estimating that the U.S. burns through $890 million daily as a result), it is the most vulnerable populations who first feel the sharp pain of their shrinking wallets. Tens of millions are being told to raise their air conditioning temperatures, turn off lights, reduce business travel, and even work from home to save energy. (CCTV)
