A United Nations report states that 32 million more people could be pushed into poverty worldwide due to the impact of the war in Iran.
The world is facing a "triple shock," the United Nations Development Programme report said, with energy, food and economic growth affected by conflict and developing countries expected to be hit hardest.
"While the impacts are concentrated in countries directly affected by conflict and those dependent on imported energy, the findings indicate significant long-term damage for poorer countries that are far removed from the fighting," the UNDP said.
Another 32 million people could fall into poverty "under a worst-case scenario," the report said.
UNDP Administrator Alexander De Croo said the war was "development in reverse."
"Conflict can undo in a matter of weeks what countries have built over years ," Alexander De Croo continued.
