The sound of third world war? Clash between America and Iran, Middle East trembles due to threat of nuclear attack

News India Live, Digital Desk: The world is once again standing on the brink of a fierce war. The ongoing tension between America and Iran has now reached such a level from where the path of return seems bleak. The dark clouds of war have started deepening in the Gulf countries and the armies of both the countries are on high alert. This conflict has raised alarm bells not only for the Middle East but also for the economy and peace of the entire world. Why has the situation worsened? Fear of direct confrontation: The latest dispute began when Iran ignored warnings from Western countries by taking a tough stance on its nuclear program. In response, America has deployed its warships and bombers in strategically important areas. According to Pentagon sources, America is ready to give a befitting reply to any ‘provocative action’. Iran’s counter-threat: Threat of ‘nuclear attack’ The Iranian leadership has also clearly refused to bow down. Statements from Tehran have said that if their sovereignty is attacked, they can go to any extent to protect themselves. Experts believe that the news of missile technology and nuclear capability possessed by Iran is making this tension more ‘explosive’. Impact on the global market: Rise in the prices of petrol and diesel? The direct impact of this tension has started being visible on the international market. If there is a crisis on the ‘Strait of Hormuz’, which is important for the supply of crude oil, then oil prices can skyrocket in the whole world including India. Due to this uncertainty, a huge decline is also being recorded in the stock market. Appeal from the big countries of the world: Russia, China and the European Union have appealed to both the countries to exercise restraint. The United Nations (UN) has warned that even a small mistake can throw the region into a fire that will be impossible to extinguish. The avenues of dialogue seem to be closed at the diplomatic level, which is a matter of concern for the entire world.
