Claim 1: “the US-Israeli war on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz driving up fuel and food costs”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Multiple Wikipedia entries (2026 Iran war, 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis) and news reports confirm a US-Israeli war against Iran starting February 28, 2026, and the subsequent blocking of the Strait of Hormuz leading to energy and food price increases (e.g., LPG tightening in India).

Claim 2: “Three years into the fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces”
DISPUTED
There is a direct contradiction in the evidence regarding the duration of the conflict. Wikipedia and the Global Conflict Tracker state the fighting broke out on April 15, 2023 (making it approximately 1-2 years old depending on the current date), whereas Al Jazeera and another web search result explicitly claim the war began 'three years ago'.
