The United Nations development chief, Alexander De Croo, stated on Thursday that the ongoing war in Iran will push more than 30 million people back into poverty. The conflict's impacts, including severe disruptions to fuel and fertilizer supplies, are hitting just as farmers are planting crops, threatening food security and livelihoods.
