Von der Leyen Warns Iran War May Damage Europe for Years

The European Union warned the continent may spend years grappling with fallout from the US-Israeli war in Iran, signaling that an energy price spike will not abate soon.

“There is also a harsh reality we all need to face: the consequences of this conflict may echo for months or even years to come,” said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the EU’s top executive, speaking before the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday.
