Tehran: The situation in the Middle East is changing rapidly and now this conflict seems to be taking the shape of a major crisis. The increasing military activities between Israel and Iran have increased uneasiness across the region. The situation is such that every statement and every action has far-reaching consequences.
There is intense discussion at the security level within Israel and there are indications that a plan to target Iran's energy sites is ready. But the final decision is said to depend on America's approval. If this approval is granted, action may be seen in the coming few days. This is being seen not only as a military but also as a way of creating strategic pressure.
The recent statement of US President Donald Trump has made the situation more serious. He has clearly warned Iran that either it should show leniency regarding the Strait of Hormuz or be prepared for strict consequences. Such a direct ultimatum shows that America is now openly adopting pressure tactics.
The Strait of Hormuz is considered the lifeline of global energy supply. The impact on the supply of oil and gas passing through here means that prices are sure to increase all over the world. The news of Iran almost closing this route has already created a stir in the international market.
Recent events indicate that this conflict is no longer just between Israel and Iran. There have been reports of targeting of American bases in the Gulf region. Information about drone attacks in UAE and Kuwait has made it clear that the scope of the war is increasing.
Reports have revealed that Iran's air defense targeted an American fighter jet. There has also been news of another plane crashing. Even if the pilots escaped safely, these incidents have shown that Iran's retaliatory capabilities cannot be taken lightly.
Iran has claimed that it has used its new indigenous air defense technology, which is capable of intercepting drones and missiles as well as fighter jets. If these claims prove to be true, it may change the military equation in the times to come.
There are continuous reports of missile and drone attacks in many areas of Israel. Explosions have been confirmed near military bases around Tel Aviv. It is clear that instead of retreating, both sides are now adopting a more aggressive stance.
So far, there has been a lot of loss of life and property in this conflict and the situation does not seem to be coming under control. If Israel attacks Iran's energy bases, its impact will not be limited to the Middle East. Its impact can be seen at every level, from oil prices to the global economy. This is the reason why the eyes of the whole world are fixed on this entire incident.
