News India Live, Digital Desk: Right now the world seems to be sitting on a pile of gunpowder. On one hand, the destructive war between Iran and Israel continues in West Asia, while on the other hand, America, in collaboration with South Korea, has started a huge military exercise called ‘Freedom Shield 2026’. This step has not only given sleepless nights to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, but has also intensified the sound of the Third World War across the world.
‘Freedom Shield’ launched amid Iran crisis
This exercise, which started today i.e. March 9, 2026, will continue till March 19. The surprising thing is that America is doing this exercise at a time when a large part of its army is fighting against Iran in the Middle East. There is also strong speculation in the South Korean media that America has started removing its defense system ‘Patriot’ (Patriot Missile Systems) from South Korea and deploying it in the war zone against Iran.
What is the purpose of this great exercise?
The roar of 18,000 soldiers: About 18,000 soldiers of South Korea are taking part in this exercise. The number of American troops has been kept confidential for security reasons.
Multi-Domain Operations: This is not just a drill on land, but training is being given to deal with attacks from cyber, space and sea.
Dealing with nuclear threat: The main focus of the exercise is to thwart North Korea’s nuclear threats and ensure the security of South Korea in any emergency.
Kim Jong Un’s threat: “This is preparation for invasion”
As usual, North Korea has termed this military exercise as ‘war rehearsal’. According to reports from Pyongyang, Kim Jong Un may conduct major missile tests in protest against this exercise. Experts believe that North Korea can take advantage of America’s preoccupation with Iran and do something big.
What will be the impact on the world?
Due to increasing tension on two fronts, a deep crisis is looming on the global economy and security. If the war with Iran on one side drags on and tension increases in the Korean Peninsula on the other side, it is sure to have a negative impact on oil prices and supply chains.
