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.

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.
