Germany warns of global economic crisis as OECD lowers UK growth forecast

Fears of economic collapse are rising in Europe as the US-Israel conflict with Iran approaches its one-month mark.

Pistorius stated Germany was not consulted before the conflict began, emphasizing the need for a ceasefire and warning about the lack of a clear strategy. The war has led to a significant spike in natural gas prices in the EU, complicating energy security for member states.
