The European Central Bank (ECB) has issued a warning that the ongoing conflict in Iran and the unpredictable trade policies of U.S. President Donald Trump could lead to a global financial crisis. In a recent Financial Stability Report, ECB Vice President Luis De Guindos stated that the war's impact on inflation and economic growth is becoming increasingly severe.
