Inflation in Iran has accelerated sharply, reaching 88.6% year-on-year in June, according to the country's statistics agency.
The surge is driven by the intensifying conflict in the Middle East, which has exacerbated existing economic pressures and disrupted supply chains.
The price increase is particularly acute in the food sector, where costs have more than doubled compared to the same period last year.
This domestic inflationary pressure reflects the broader economic strain caused by the ongoing war, which has constrained access to essential goods and services.
The conflict is also having global repercussions, with US consumer prices accelerating at their fastest pace in more than three years during May.
The Consumer Price Index climbed to a new peak as the ongoing conflict in Iran continued to drive up energy costs, highlighting the interconnected nature of global markets.
