The International Monetary Fund says the UK economy will be hit harder than other major countries because of the Iran war.
Economic growth in the UK is now expected to be 0.8% instead of 1.3% this year. This is mainly due to rising energy prices, fewer interest rate cuts, and ongoing effects of the conflict.
The IMF also warned that if the war continues, it could slow down the global economy and even lead to a recession.
Although the UK may recover next year, people could face higher inflation and increased living costs in the short term.

Donald Trump announced a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday after peace talks with Iran failed.
The blockade aims to stop ships entering or leaving Iran, increasing tensions.
Oil prices have risen above $100 per barrel because the strait carries about 20% of the world’s oil.
Iran warned that no port would be safe if its ports are attacked.
The United Kingdom said it will not join the blockade, while France is working on a peaceful mission to keep the strait open.
At least 3,300+ people have been killed in Iran, including over 380 children.

Greece plans to ban social media for children under 15 starting next year. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis says the move aims to reduce anxiety, poor sleep, and addiction caused by excessive phone use.
The government will introduce age checks and may require platforms to regularly verify users’ ages.
Other countries like Australia, France, and Spain are also considering similar rules, although social media companies argue such bans may be hard to enforce.

The United States is considering automatically registering young men for military draft eligibility instead of requiring them to sign up at age 18. The plan aims to save money and improve efficiency, but it has raised concerns about a possible future draft. The proposal is still under review and not yet in effect.
