Iran Conflict Threatens to Plunge Millions into Poverty

The escalating US-Israel military confrontation with Iran is driving up global fuel and food prices, endangering 32.5 million people worldwide with the risk of falling into poverty. The conflict disrupts critical oil supplies and agricultural trade routes, causing price spikes that hit low-income households hardest. International aid agencies warn that without immediate de-escalation and economic safeguards, the number of people living below the poverty line could surge, reversing years of development gains.
