Toyota, the world's biggest car company, has reported a £3 billion loss for the last quarter. This fall is mainly because of the conflict in the Middle East, which has made global trade routes harder to use and increased the prices of important materials for making cars.

The conflict has raised costs for materials like steel and aluminium, and shipping has become more expensive and slow. This has affected Toyota's car production and increased overall operating expenses.

Toyota plans to review its production methods and find new suppliers. Experts say other car companies could also face similar financial problems soon.
