New Zealand Urges A Quick Resolution to The Iran War
A group of Western finance ministers, said the Iran war has caused a regrettable loss of life and warned that a prolonged conflict risks derailing the global economy.
The joint statement said that the growth and inflation impact will persist even if there was a lasting resolution to the conflict.
“Renewed hostilities, a widening of the conflict or continued disruption in the Strait of Hormuz would pose serious additional risks to global energy security, supply chains, and economic and financial stability,” the statement released by the UK government said.
It marks the latest effort by Western countries to ramp up pressure on the US to end the war, which has dented their growth prospects and raised the threat of another jump in inflation.
