Tension continues between Iran and America for the last 43 days. Even after five days of the ceasefire, there is still little hope for lasting peace. The outcome of Iran-US talks in Islamabad, Pakistan on April 11 was also zero. However, the two sides have not yet announced the end of talks. This means that talks can be held again in the coming days. If the talks are not completed by April 21, then the Middle East may once again get engulfed in the fire of war.
anyway iran The increasing tension between India and America repeatedly raises the question as to what are the incidents that can suddenly turn the situation into war. This conflict is often less planned and more “trigger based”, meaning even a small incident can lead to a major military confrontation. Let us understand those big triggers which can make the situation deteriorate immediately.
1. What if the Strait of Hormuz closes?
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important oil routes in the world. If Iran blocks this route or stops oil tankers, there will be a direct impact on global supply. In such a situation, America can take military action, because it will become not just a regional but a global economic crisis. America had sent a ship to the Strait of Hormuz only yesterday. Iran has given a strict warning regarding this that this should not happen in future. If this happens, Iran will take action. This means that if America acts as per its wish, war can start on this issue.
2. Can attacks on US military bases provoke war?
If Iran or its supported groups launch a major attack on American military bases in Iraq or the Gulf countries, America will immediately retaliate. Such an attack could directly lead to the beginning of a war, because America would consider it a direct threat to national security and take action. Especially if a US Navy ship is attacked in the Persian Gulf, America will immediately retaliate. Such attacks in the maritime sector rapidly increase tension and within a few hours the situation can reach a war-like situation.
3. Is Iran’s nuclear program the most dangerous trigger?
If America receives a signal that Iran has come very close to making nuclear weapons, then it can carry out a “pre-emptive strike”. This situation is considered the most dangerous, because it leaves very little time for diplomacy and a direct military confrontation can begin.
4. Can Israel factor become the cause of war?
Tension between Israel and Iran is already deep. Iran has made its stand clear on the issue of Lebanon. If Israel does not stop its actions, a direct conflict between the two may escalate on this issue and if America comes out openly in support of Israel, then this conflict may immediately turn into an Iran-America war.
5. What is the real threat? Plan or mistake?
The biggest danger is that of “accidental escalation”, that is, any small incident or miscalculation can turn into a major war. History shows that many wars have started from sudden events and not from a planned manner. At present, the situation is definitely tense, but the possibility of full war is less. Most experts believe that small conflicts and proxy conflicts can continue, but a major war will occur only if a major trigger suddenly emerges.
