Continuing strikes from both countries are draining their economies.
Israel and Iran are in the second week of the conflict.
As well as inflicting damage, both countries are putting their economies under strain.
Israel has spent billions of dollars on its war on Gaza and has upped its spending considerably with its largely air-based attacks on Iran.
Iran was already struggling with the years of sanctions and now its oil and gas facilities are being hit.
So can the two nations sustain the conflict? Which is likely to be worst affected?
And will the conflict eventually damage the global economy?
