Iran war impacts UK economy and entertainment
British economic data showed a 0.1% contraction in the United Kingdom's economy during April, marking the first monthly decline since August 2025. This was due to the effects of Iran's conflict, which led to the cancellation of sporting events such as the Formula 1 races in the Gulf. The services sector decreased by 0.2%, negatively impacting British companies linked to event cancellations in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the manufacturing sector experienced a slight growth of 0.4%. Additionally, the value of fuel imports rose to the highest level in three years, reaching £7.1 billion, driven by rising oil prices.
