As the World Bank and IMF spring meetings get underway, a new report sheds light on three R's — Resilience, Recession, and Russia — as experts weigh the impact of the war in Iran. Here's a sneak peek from IMF headquarters from @TonyMaciulis.

The Iran war, as well as the conflict between Israel and the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, has major humanitarian consequences. This Graphic Truth examines how many people have been displaced across the Middle East since these conflicts began.

The Iran war is a global shock, but not a balanced one, says Harvard economist and former top IMF official @GitaGopinath. “Global growth… dropped by 0.3 percentage points.” “For the US… 0.1 to 0.15.” Gopinath breaks down exactly why America is less exposed to the economic impacts of the war it started in the latest episode of #GZEROWorld.

Can the Chinese RMB replace the US dollar? Don't count on it, says Harvard economist @GitaGopinath. But given how fast the Chinese economy has grown, anything's possible. Catch the latest episode of the #GZEROWorld podcast wherever you get podcasts

Americans are injecting unregulated chemicals from China into their bodies. Not fentanyl, peptides. This is what happens when biohacking meets broken trust in institutions. Read about how China is fueling America's biohacking boom. gzeromedia.com/news/analysis/…

In this #askian, @ianbremmer breaks down the newly announced two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran and whether it can hold.

For 16 years, PM Orban has won every fight, turning Hungary into an "electoral autocracy" & a one-party state with elections. And for the first time since returning to power in 2010, he will probably lose. What then? @ianbremmer explains in his column: gzeromedia.com/by-ian-bremmer…

Hungarian PM and close Trump ally @PM_ViktorOrban is fighting for his political life ahead of April 12 elections. The question, however, is not if he'll lose–he will–but if he'll accept defeat, says @EurasiaGroup's Europe expert @Mij_Europe. #GZERODebrief

Viktor Orbán started his political life as a pro-democracy liberalist. What happened next, political scientist Ivan Krastev argues, was a genuine ideological transformation. Krastev traces Orbán's unlikely arc on #GZEROWorld.

In 2025, the US spent $921 billion on its military, nearly as much as the next 14 largest defense budgets in the world, combined. And the gap could widen soon. Read all about it here: gzeromedia.com/graphic-truth/…

In this #QuickTake, @ianbremmer breaks down the high-stakes dynamics around the Strait of Hormuz as Iran tightens control.

Can the dollar really be dethroned? For 80 years, it’s ruled the global economy—yet tariffs, debt, and politics are chipping away at it. But one thing is keeping the dollar on top: TINA #IanExplains

Orbán isn't just betting on the US, says Sofia-based political scientist Ivan Krastev. On #GZEROWorld, Krastev breaks down how Beijing bought Hungary's EU veto power, and why that story may be coming to an end.

The ACI Europe, a regional airport trade group, is warning EU leaders that airports could soon face “systemic” jet fuel shortages while Iran maintains its grip over the Strait of Hormuz. Airlines also say they have enough fuel to get them through several weeks, but aren’t able to guarantee deliveries in May. This comes as Asian countries like Vietnam have already begun rationing jet fuel.
