JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said the ongoing Iran war could improve long-term peace prospects in the Middle East, despite short-term risks, according to remarks made at a conference in Washington, D.C.
Speaking with Palantir executive Mike Gallagher, Dimon said regional powers including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, the U.S. and Israel are increasingly aligned in seeking stability.

He noted that attitudes in the region have shifted significantly over the past two decades. However, the report said uncertainty remains high as the conflict continues, especially after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran triggered market volatility and rising oil prices.
President Donald Trump recently signaled possible resolution talks, though Iran denied such discussions.
Dimon warned that continued instability could deter foreign investment in the region. He also criticized U.S. policy failures, citing weak manufacturing capacity and reliance on China.
According to Dimon, stronger geopolitical positioning, including outcomes in Iran and Ukraine, will be critical in managing future tensions with China.
