What should I stockpile for the Iran war?

Priority items: 2 weeks of non-perishable food and water, fill gas tank and gas cans, 90-day prescription refills, $500+ cash, first aid kit, batteries, and flashlights. Avoid panic-buying — shortages are not expected for 4-6 weeks.

Will there be food shortages because of the Iran war?

Widespread food shortages are unlikely in the US. Some imported items (cooking oils, spices, specialty foods) may see 4-6 week delays. Domestic agriculture is largely self-sufficient.

Should I fill up my gas tank now?

Yes — filling your tank now locks in current prices before further increases. Consider filling gas cans too. Gas prices are projected to rise $0.50-2.00/gal over the next 30-60 days.
