Iran war to permanently scar global economy even if peace is reached: IMF

The head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned the Iran war will cause permanent scarring on the global economy even if the fragile two-week ceasefire holds. In a keynote address yesterday, Kristalina Georgieva said the conflict has reversed the global economy's recent surge, which was driven by the AI boom and tech investment. "In fact, had it not been for this shock, we would have been upgrading global growth," she told attendees in Washington.

Trump’s conflicting messages sow confusion over the Iran war

US President Donald Trump says the United States is winning the war with Iran even as thousands of additional American troops deploy to the Middle East. He has pilloried other countries for not helping the US, only to say later he does not need their assistance. He has twice delayed deadlines for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He has both threatened to "obliterate" Iran's energy plants if the vital waterway remains largely shuttered and said the US was "not affected" by the closure.

Iran has rejected a 15-point US proposal for a ceasefire that includes it relinquishing control of the strait, but at the same time has ordered thousands more troops to the region — possibly in preparation for a military attempt to wrest the waterway from Iran. A first res...
