Now, he believes that the central bank should at least maintain interest rates at their current level rather than consider raising them. Miran currently states that policymakers should view the current wave of inflation as “transitory”—a viewpoint that put the Federal Reserve in a difficult position a few years ago. However, he points out that this round of inflation is more driven by temporary impacts brought about by the war in Iran, with the monthly negative inflation data observed when oil prices fell in June serving as proof. ## Related News & Research - [How Iran has staved off economic collapse despite the US-Israeli war](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296204102.md) - [Crude Prices Jump as US-Iran War at a Standstill](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296138411.md) - [The ripple effects of the Iran war could threaten education for millions of kids around the world](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296112167.md) - [US Treasury Secretary Bessent to hold press conference on Iran on Monday](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296511454.md) - [L'imad-AD Ports deal a 'fundamental paradigm shift' resulting from the Iran war: Analyst](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296200905.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
