The sixth day of war in the Middle East has been marked in recent hours by various news items. The Iranian Armed Forces have denied launching a missile against Turkey, while the Sri Lankan Navy recovered 84 bodies from the Iranian ship sunk by a torpedo from a US submarine with 180 people on board.
Iran also announced that it has launched an attack against positions of Kurdish groups in Iraqi Kurdistan, adding to the outbreak of this war.
For its part, Israel bombed Beirut and other areas of Lebanon again, and new explosions were reported in Tehran.
The expansion of the conflict continues to provoke different reactions from world leaders: the Canadian, Mark Carney, was for the first time open to participating if it continues to worsen, while China, Iran’s partner, will send a mediator to the area. In Spain, after Pedro Sánchez has reaffirmed his no to war in response to Trump’s threats, Defense has confirmed that it contemplates providing military support to Cyprus if the EU requests it due to the war in Iran.
Regarding the economic consequences, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Kristalina Georgieva, has assured that “if the conflict (in the Middle East) continues, it has an obvious potential to affect prices, energy markets and inflation worldwide.”
