US-Iran tensions escalate, impacting global oil prices and hunger
Tensions between the US and Iran are escalating, with reports indicating a potential "US-Iran war" and Iran refusing to give away enriched uranium. The conflict is cited as a significant factor worsening global hunger and has led to higher oil and gas prices. Analysts predict oil prices could reach $US150 if the conflict prolongs, impacting economies and potentially leading to economic disaster. Iran's main oil terminals remain empty due to a US blockade, and rebel groups are escalating attacks in the country's southeast. The situation also raises concerns about increased terror attacks in Britain.
