Trump also bowed down, Prince Salman made such a move that Hormuz will be opened! Now the world’s breath rests on Iran’s decision.

Middle East Desk: The sudden 10-day ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel has shocked the whole world. But do you know that behind this peace agreement there is no normal diplomacy, but the mastermind game of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS)? According to a report by ‘Middle East Eye’, Prince Salman directly called US President Donald Trump and asked for a ceasefire under any circumstances. After this, the White House showed such activism that Israel had to step back.

Trump not only put pressure on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, but also directed him to immediately stop the attacks being carried out in the name of Hezbollah. Why did Saudi Arabia take so much interest? Let us understand the whole game behind this.

Oil game and Hormuz tension increase concern

Saudi Arabia’s biggest concern is not Lebanon, but the stability of oil supply and the global energy market. The ‘Strait of Hormuz’ is closed due to the ongoing tension between Iran and America. This is the same sea route through which a large part of the world’s oil passes. The global supply chain has collapsed due to tension. Saudi Arabia knows very well that the longer this route remains closed, the greater will be the economic loss for it and the entire world. Saudi wants this route to be secured and opened as soon as possible.

Lebanon’s front and America-Iran’s secret deal

Prince Salman’s strategy is very deep. He put pressure on America to first achieve peace in Lebanon, so that the way for talks with Iran could be cleared. In fact, Iran had already made it clear that it would not sit at the table for any agreement with the US as long as Israeli attacks on Lebanon continued. That means peace in Lebanon is the first step to opening the Strait of Hormuz.

How was Israel convinced?

Donald Trump acted quickly as soon as he took power and convinced Netanyahu to stop the war. This was such a secret mission that many senior Israeli ministers got the news of this ceasefire from TV news. Although Iran has welcomed this peace, the situation is still delicate. According to the report of ‘Al Jazeera’, even after the ceasefire was implemented, Israel has targeted an ambulance in Lebanon, due to which this agreement seems to be in danger.

Prince Salman’s ‘double game’ and Saudi’s next step

Saudi Arabia is currently working on a two-pronged strategy. Now he is not at all in favor of prolonging the war. Its only focus is to reduce tension and keep important sea routes like Hormuz as well as ‘Bab-al-Mandeb’ open. Although Saudi has the option of its ‘East-West Pipeline’ which can bypass Hormuz, it knows that the opening of direct sea routes is very important to keep the global market stable. Now all eyes are on Iran to see what next step it takes.
