International Monetary Fund has warned that a prolonged conflict involving Iran could push the global economy into recession.
The agency says major economies, particularly the United Kingdom, may face significant economic fallout.
In its latest report, the International Monetary Fund highlighted growing economic risks linked to ongoing tensions in the Middle East.
The organization has already lowered its global growth forecast for 2026, citing the impact of continued instability.
While overall growth is expected to slow worldwide, energy-importing and developing countries are likely to be hit the hardest.
The report also revised down growth projections for the United States by 0.1 percentage points, bringing the 2026 forecast to 2.3 percent.
