Arabic version: الصراع الإيراني يهدد مستويات الفقر العالمية

The ongoing United States-Israel war on Iran is significantly impacting global economies, particularly in the Global South. Fuel and food costs are rising, leading to increased risks for millions of people worldwide.

According to Al Jazeera, the conflict could push as many as 32.5 million people globally back into poverty. This economic strain is exacerbated by the reliance of many countries on imports from the Gulf region, making them especially vulnerable to such disruptions.

The war is not only affecting the Middle East but is also felt in Africa and Asia, where food security and job stability are diminishing. As governments struggle to cope with the fallout, international aid is becoming increasingly scarce, further complicating recovery efforts for those in need.
