TEHRAN, Jun 7: Sunday marks 100 days since the United States and Israel launched war on Iran - a conflict that has triggered a global energy crisis and darkened the global economic outlook.

Russia and China, the world's second-largest economy, also pushed back against the war.

Featherstone noted that the Trump administration's rhetoric grew in extremity as the conflict progressed.
"Whilst the ceasefire has not been completely followed, it has brought some stability to the conflict; yet this stability is undermined by the administration's inaccurate comments on the potential peace deal," he said.
"Finally, the impact of this conflict has hit the cost of living around the world, and impacted the daily lives of millions, if not billions, of people. Governments around the world will be feeling pressured to oppose the conflict by their own voters opposing it." "AL JAZEERA
