International News: Tension is rising in the Middle East. America and Israel have given Iran just 60 days. They want Iran to stop working on its nuclear program. If Iran's leader Khamenei agrees, there may be peace. But if he refuses, a big war could start. Missiles, bombs, and fighter jets may fill the sky. People across the region are now holding their breath, waiting for what happens next.
1. Iran is facing a two-front attack
America and Israel have given Iran 60 days. Both countries have warned that if Tehran does not stop uranium enrichment, action is certain. The Israeli Defense Minister said on an open platform that preparations for attack have been completed. The US Foreign Minister also said that options are open. This statement has come at a time when tensions in the Gulf region are already at their peak.
2. The world depends on Khamenei's decision
International pressure is now mounting on Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. Both the US and Israel are keeping an eye on his next statement. If Khamenei bows down, the crisis can be averted. But if he remains adamant, a situation of war can arise. So far, no leniency has been shown by Iran.
3. Increased vigilance on oil tankers
US and Israeli forces are on alert in the Strait of Hormuz. Drones and warships have been deployed to protect oil tankers. Security has been tightened after attacks on some tankers last month. Gulf countries are also worried about this conflict. If a war breaks out, oil prices could soar.
4. The Israeli Air Force has done the exercise
Israel has recently conducted a full dress rehearsal for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Fighter planes have practiced in Cyprus and Greece. It is being said that Israeli pilots were given training to drop bombs on fake Iranian reactors. America has also deployed B-52 bombers.
5. The UN is appealing for peace
The United Nations and the European Union are constantly appealing to both sides to exercise restraint. The UN has said that any military action could put the entire region in crisis. France and Germany are also trying to mediate. But so far no concrete success has been achieved.
6. America's stern warning
The US National Security Advisor has said that "Iran will have to face serious consequences." His indication was clear that the US is fully prepared for military operation. After this statement, there has been a stir in the markets. Deliberation on defense preparations is also going on in Washington.
7. The effect of war on India too
If a war breaks out in the Gulf, India may suffer a major economic setback. Oil imports will become costly, and uncertainty in the market will increase. A large number of Indians work there, whose security will become a challenge. India has adopted a neutral stance so far. But this stance may change in the future.
