A year-long production setback at Emirates Global Aluminium in Abu Dhabi due to a disruptive strike is exacerbating supply challenges in the region, particularly amid ongoing tensions from the Iran-Israel conflict that has entered its fifth week. The killing of Iranian official Ali Larijani in an Israeli airstrike has intensified hostilities, leading to broader military actions including strikes on Tehran and involvement from Yemen-based Houthis. With raw material supply issues from Iran compounding the crisis, stakeholders are advised to prepare for potential aluminum market instability and explore alternative sourcing strategies.
