The warning came as energy bills were forecast to increase by a further 16 per cent in January, while motorists face record pump prices amid disruption linked to the situation in the Middle East.

The Iran war is likely to continue through the US congressional midterm elections in November and potentially beyond, analysts have warned, as peace talks repeatedly falter and both sides remain unwilling to make concessions. Iranian officials are divided between public-facing politicians and the increasingly powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), while the government seeks to preserve leverage and inflict political damage on President Donald Trump during the election cycle.
