Toyota sales fall for second month due to Iran war

Toyota, the world's largest automaker, announced in April 2026 that its global sales have fallen for the second consecutive month. The company attributes the decline to the ongoing war with Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which has severely disrupted supply chains and regional markets. As a result, Toyota's sales in the Middle East have plummeted by one-third, highlighting the widespread economic impact of the conflict beyond the immediate military sphere. This report illustrates how the protracted crisis is now affecting major global corporations and international trade flows.
