'While Donald Trump tries to justify Iran war UK households already feeling the cost'Donald Trump's all out war on Iran is already hitting the pound in the pocket of millions of already cash strapped households with soaring petrol prices but there are also other, less obvious, costsView 3 Images Donald Trump's war on Iran is having global consequences that includes UK households (Image: Samuel Corum, Getty Images)While Donald Trump flip-flops over justifying going to war with Iran, ordinary households are paying the price. ‌Most mortgage customers aren’t impacted for now, but those taking out a new deal - or remortgaging - won’t be thanking Trump.
