News India Live, Digital Desk: The flame of war in West Asia now seems to be taking a frightening turn. US President Donald Trump’s so-called ‘8 o’clock at night’ warning has created a stir within Iran. Amid Trump’s tough stance and rumors of possible air strikes, the Iranian government has made an emotional and strategic appeal to its citizens. Tehran has urged people to stand as ‘human shields’ around the country’s important power plants and energy sites. This development has indicated that the world is standing on the threshold of a major military conflict.
What is Trump’s ‘8 PM’ threat?
After the strong statements coming from the White House, there is intense discussion on social media and international circles about Trump’s warning in which he has said that Iran will have to face serious consequences. According to reports, America has prepared a complete plan to target Iran’s nuclear sites and infrastructure. Trump’s ‘8 o’clock’ ultimatum is being linked to the timing of a possible attack on Iran, which has given sleepless nights to the rulers of Tehran.
Public’s support for safety of power houses
In an appeal issued by the Government of Iran, citizens have been asked to unite and protect the country’s property. The Iranian administration believes that if people are present in large numbers near power plants and government targets, it will be difficult for the US to carry out bombings internationally. Many such messages are also being circulated on social media in which common people are being encouraged to come out of their homes and gather at strategic locations.
Will America break Iran’s back by blackout?
War experts believe that America’s first strategy is to paralyze Iran’s energy system. If Iran’s power plants are attacked, the entire country could be plunged into darkness, disrupting not only communications but also military operations. Sensing this danger, Iran is now trying to use its citizens as shields. The increasing unrest on the streets of Tehran is a testimony to the fact that the situation can get out of hand at any time.
The shadow of recession and inflation is looming over the world
The impact of this increasing tension between Iran and America will not be limited to the Middle East only. If Trump turns his threat into reality, crude oil prices may skyrocket in the global market. This situation is worrying for countries like India because disruption in oil supply from Gulf countries will have a direct impact on the prices of petrol and diesel. At present, the whole world is waiting with bated breath for the next step of Washington and Tehran.
