Iran Conflict Threatens $124 Billion in Middle East Remittances Over Three-Month Period

Iran's ongoing missile and drone attacks on Gulf targets over the past three months have exposed vulnerabilities in the remittance corridors supporting approximately 30 million foreign workers across the Middle East. Steve Geoffrey, a 38-year-old hotel worker in Doha, Qatar, represents millions sending money home; he transfers around 1,159 USD monthly to his family in Kenya, nearly double the average local income. "We can only pray things improve," Geoffrey said of the conflict. "Going back has never been an option—I don't even know where to start again." The disruptions highlight risks to the estimated $124 billion in annual remittances that sustain families across the region.
