There is no possibility of war in the Middle East stopping: America and Iran clearly refuse to discuss ceasefire
New Delhi, March 14. There is no sign of an end to the war that has been going on in the Middle East for the last two weeks because the Donald Trump administration has rejected the efforts of diplomatic talks initiated by the allies of the Middle East to end the war. According to news agency Reuters, these efforts were being made to stop the war, which started two weeks ago with major air strikes by America and Israel.
On the other hand, Iran has also made it clear that it is not ready for any ceasefire until the air strikes by America and Israel stop. Two senior Iranian sources said that many countries are trying to mediate to end this conflict.
Both sides are preparing for a long conflict
The lack of interest in talks from both Washington and Tehran is indicating that this war may drag on for a long time. Meanwhile, civilian deaths are increasing in the conflict and oil prices have risen sharply due to Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz.
Pressure increased due to American attack on Kharg Island
It is noteworthy that late on Friday night, America carried out air strikes on Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export centre. This clearly indicated that the Trump administration is in favor of continuing military action against Iran.
Strong warning from Iran’s new supreme leader
At the same time, Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed and has also threatened to intensify attacks on neighboring countries. However, after a telephonic conversation between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Iran has opened the Strait of Hormuz for Indian ships.
More than 2000 people have died in the war so far
Meanwhile, more than 2000 people have died in the war so far, most of whom are said to be citizens of Iran. Apart from this, maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has almost come to a standstill. Almost one-fifth of the world’s oil passes through this route, so it is also affecting the global oil market.
Oman and Egypt had started mediation efforts
Oman, which played the role of mediator in the talks before the war, has tried several times to establish contact between the two countries. According to two sources, the White House made it clear that at present it is not interested in talks.
Egypt also tried to start dialogue between the two sides, but till now no significant progress has been made. However, these efforts have definitely shown some military restraint in attacks on neighboring countries.
Trump had earlier said – it is too late to talk now
In the first week of the war, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that Iran’s leadership system and army have become very weak after the American and Israeli attacks and they want to negotiate, but now it is too late.
