- Israel's economy experienced a slowdown at the beginning of 2026 due to ongoing conflict with Iran.

Lebanon has suffered the most, with extensive destruction and civilian displacement. The UAE has strengthened ties with the U.S. and Israel in response to Iranian strikes, while Saudi Arabia's economic ambitions may be jeopardized. Qatar, despite its relations with Iran, faces challenges due to the conflict's regional implications.
