PayInc Index Shows Economic Growth Amid Rising War Risks

Middle East outlets highlight the strain on Iran’s economy from war pressure and sanctions, asking whether it is buckling or still holding up. They link Iran’s troubles to a wider risk of an energy shock that could test the resilience of economies like the UK that recently picked up speed. The expectation is that any escalation involving Iran would push up energy prices and expose how shallow the current growth burst really is.

• •Iran’s economy is facing heavier pressure from war-related costs and long-running sanctions.
• •Regional reports question whether Iran can maintain current output and employment levels under conflict strain.
• •Commentary warns that disruptions to Iranian or regional oil exports would raise global energy prices.
• •Middle East coverage notes that the UK’s recent growth surge occurred before the full impact of any Iran-related energy shock.
• •Writers in the region argue that a prolonged conflict involving Iran would hurt both local economies and energy-importing countries such as the UK.
