Fierce War Again Between America and Iran

It was believed that a ceasefire had been reached between the US and Iran despite Israel’s disobedience. Iran’s accounts would be de-frozen within 60 days and it would receive war compensation. There were also talks of increasing trade between the two countries. Furthermore, the US claimed to have established a lasting peace.

Meanwhile, in Iran, the funeral procession of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was being brought back from Iraq to Iran when Iran attacked three cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing them of violating the designated route. In response, the US launched a devastating attack on Iran, the kind seen only on one day during the second phase of the war. The ceasefire lasted only twenty days, and a war mentality once again took hold. It was being said that Trump had paused due to fear of losing his popularity and the passage of a resolution against him in Congress, but the US President has so much power that he can wage war without any hesitation.

The US attacked 80 targets in Iran, and Iran claimed to have attacked 85 targets in response. The US imposed an oil embargo on Iran. Iran also launched missiles at Qatar and Bahrain. The Islamic Front has now taken control of the war in Iran. This Front is extremely radical and wants to establish Iranian dominance throughout the Gulf. On one side is Iranian President Pajeshkian, who brokered the deal, and on the other, the IRGC, led by Vahidi, is opposed to the deal with Trump.

They believed that a deal with Trump would weaken Iran. Ultimately, Iran was forced to jump into the war. It has a substantial stockpile of missiles and drones from China and Russia. A terrible war has begun again. Previously, Iran was demanding 28 lakh crore rupees as compensation for the war. The US argued that the Gulf countries of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait were unwilling to pay compensation.

They argued that the US started the war and should pay the compensation. Internally, we believe that Iran is exerting pressure to obtain this compensation, but this time, the US is also in a do-or-die mood. The result was a terrible catastrophe, the cries of dying people, and the blockade of Hormuz again. More than 350 ships and 6,000 crew members are currently stranded in Hormuz. The impact on the economy was that the Sensex crashed and crude oil became expensive again.

The Indian rupee fell by 63 paise against the dollar. The price of crude oil increased to $79 per barrel in a single day. The world feels as if the story of destruction is being repeated again. Iran has Hormuz as a major weapon and it wants to use it to its fullest extent again.

Now, if the Strait of Hormuz is blockaded, the world will once again be plunged into the same economic crisis, disrupting the supply of crude oil and gas. The black marketers who create shortages will reap the rewards. French President Emmanuel Macron has again advocated for a ceasefire and peace.

India has said that attacks on sea lanes must stop. All parties should seek peace through dialogue. Unfortunately, the same devastation and carnage have once again prevailed in the atmosphere, and the world is once again on the brink of economic disaster.
