Video: War Threatens Indonesia's Coffee and Fruit Exports to Iran

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — Middle East geopolitical turmoil has intensified after the United States and its ally Israel bombed Iran, killing Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on 27 February 2026.

Iran–US tensions are feared to impact the global economy, given Iran’s control of the Hormuz Strait, a crucial global trade route that includes crude oil shipments. If access is disrupted, global inflation could rise, heightening the risk of an economic slowdown.

For Indonesia, the conflict in the Middle East that unsettles Iran is expected to affect RI–Iran trade cooperation. In 2025, Indonesia’s export value to Iran reached USD 249.1 million.

What will be the impact of the war on Indonesia’s economy? How will it affect RI–Iran trade relations?
