UK Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones has warned that the economic fallout from the war with Iran will cause inflation to persist for months or even more than a year. He specifically cited ongoing price rises in energy, food, and transportation. Jones labeled the situation a 'Trumpian inflation disaster,' indicating that even an immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz would not provide quick relief.
