Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened emergency crisis talks with leading business executives at Downing Street today amid growing concerns about the economic impact of the ongoing conflict involving Iran.

The emergency meeting, described as a Cobra session, signals mounting government concern about potential economic fallout from the Middle East crisis. The discussions come as the administration faces pressure to address business community worries about market stability and economic disruption.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon expressed uncertainty about whether the Iran conflict could trigger a recession during an interview with CBS Evening News. When asked directly about the economic risks, Dimon stated he does not know if the war will serve as a "tipping point" for recession.

Dimon emphasized that beyond immediate economic concerns, the broader global implications of the conflict are paramount. "What's more important for the future of the world is that this war successfully conclude," the banking executive told CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil.

The convergence of high-level government crisis meetings and warnings from major financial leaders underscores growing apprehension about how the Middle East conflict could affect both UK and global economic stability. The government has not yet released details about specific measures discussed during the emergency session.
