News India Live, Digital Desk: The ongoing war in the Middle East has now reached such a dangerous point from where there is no way back in sight. The increasing tension between Israel and Iran has held the entire world’s breath. According to the latest reports, the next 12 days are going to be very critical for the entire world. Iran has now prepared to play such a gamble regarding the ‘Strait of Hormuz’, which can not only bring the global economy to a halt, but can also pose a big challenge for the future President of America, Donald Trump.
Iran eyes the Strait of Hormuz, why is the world scared? In this war of words and missiles between Iran and Israel, the sea route is now going to become the biggest weapon. The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most important sea route, through which one-third of the global oil supply passes. Iran has indicated that if it is attacked or its oil assets are damaged, it may close this route completely. If this happens, the prices of crude oil will go up in flames across the world and the prices of petrol and diesel will start touching the sky.
12 day countdown and Trump’s maze Political analysts believe that Iran may take some major step within the next 12 days. This time is also important because there is a strong rumor of change of power in America. Iran wants to show itself strategically strong amid the possibility of Donald Trump’s return. Iran fears that after Trump’s arrival, the sanctions on them will become more stringent, so to avoid the ‘Trump Trap’, it wants to push Israel and its allies on the backfoot by demonstrating its power in advance.
Oil shortage and threat of economic recession This possible step of Iran will affect not only the Middle East but all the developing countries including India. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz directly means havoc in the global economy. India sources a major part of its requirement through this route. Experts say that this move of Iran can prove to be more fatal than giving a direct military response to Israel, because it will be a direct attack on the pocket of the world.
Israel’s response and Iran’s preparation Israel has already said that it will not back down from targeting Iran’s nuclear bases and oil depots. On the other hand, Iran has kept its missile units on alert mode. Iranian Navy activity has increased around Hormuz. Now it remains to be seen whether this great war can be avoided through diplomacy or whether the next 12 days are going to be recorded as the darkest days in history.
