Iran- Israel war
Iran-Israel war: In a significant escalation from the Middle East creating a profound impact on the global economy, Iran and Israel have been engaged in a deadly conflict over the last week. While Israel reportedly made a devastating impact on the nuclear facilities of Iran with its fighter jets, Iran responded by attacking many critical areas located in Israel's Tel Aviv. As a result of the massive escalation, the world has divided into two factions- one that is supporting Israel's actions against Iran saying Iran's nuclear development is a threat to the world and the other side which is saying Iran has every right to respond. Here are all the details you need to know about which countries are siding with Iran and Israel. France
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot posted on X that Paris is concerned about Iran's nuclear ambitions and stands with Israel, urging all parties to avoid further escalation. China
The Chinse Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian has said that China opposes any actions that violate sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Iran. It also announced that it is deeply concerned about the grave consequences of the escalation. India
Readers should know that India has not taken any sides in the conflict. It has urged dialogue and diplomacy to reduce tensions between the two countries as both Israel and Iran are its significant partners. Pakistan
Last but not the least, Pakistan has also strongly condemn the 'unjustified' Israeli attacks on Iran. Iran launches new wave of attacks on Israel
In response to the massive Israel attack, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a 'large-scale combined offensive operation' against Israel, involving a significant number of missiles and drones, as per a report carried by news agency IANS.
According to the IRGC's official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC's aerospace division carried out the attack on late Saturday night, stating it was in response to Israel's 'repeated aggressions' against Iran.

Global energy crisis soon? As Israel targets Iran's South Pars gas field, oil prices may rise further to $200–$300 per barrel, warns Iraqi Minister. Here's what happened in Middle East conflict
The ongoing tension between Israel and Iran is raising fears of a global energy crisis . Iraq's foreign minister has warned that oil prices could rise sharply if the situation escalates, especially if vital energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz are blocked. Oil Price Could Surge Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said that oil prices could increase to $200–$300 per barrel. He discussed this with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul. Hussein said that if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, oil exports could fall, affecting Iraq and other producers, an INA news agency report said. Impact on Global Energy Supply Hussein said that the closing of the Strait of Hormuz could remove five million barrels of oil per day from the market. Most of this oil comes from the Persian Gulf and Iraq. Such a disruption could cause serious economic effects, including higher inflation in Europe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Casas contenedor sustentables en Guayaquil (Consulta precios) Casas Contenedor | anuncios de búsqueda Undo Also Read: Israel Iran Conflict: Israel attacks refueling plane at Mashhad Airport and gas facility near Iran's southern coast. Here's why Warning on Regional Instability Hussein also warned that the Israel-Iran conflict might create inflation and economic problems for both producing and importing countries. Iraq, as a producer, could face issues if exports are delayed or stopped. Live Events Iraq Calls for International Response The Iraqi minister said that Israeli military actions in Iran violate international law and regional sovereignty. He called on the global community to condemn these actions. He stressed that continued conflict could harm regional and global stability. Israeli Strike Hits South Pars Gas Field Iran had to halt gas production at South Pars after an Israeli airstrike caused a fire. Phase 14 of the gas field was hit, stopping 12 million cubic metres of daily production. This was the first Israeli strike on Iran's energy infrastructure.

Here's what Trump said and who can mediate to resolve conflict South Pars Gas Field's Strategic Role The South Pars field is shared by Iran and Qatar. It provides two-thirds of Iran's gas and is used for power, heating and industry. Iran produces around 275 bcm of gas yearly, mainly for domestic use. A smaller portion is exported to Iraq. Broader Energy Risks Qatar exports gas from the same field. An attack here signals economic targets are now part of the conflict. Oil prices rose 14% after Israel's initial strike. Analysts warn more attacks could affect Qatar's LNG operations, disrupting supplies further. Escalation May Deepen Crisis If key energy points like Kharg Island or the Strait of Hormuz are hit, oil and gas prices may increase sharply. Iran's domestic energy crisis is already deepening due to gas shortages and power cuts. The latest strike worsens this issue and may raise global prices. FAQs Why could oil prices rise to $300 per barrel? Oil prices could rise due to the Israel-Iran conflict disrupting exports from the Persian Gulf and closing key trade routes like the Strait of Hormuz. What is the importance of the South Pars gas field ? South Pars supplies two-thirds of Iran's gas. A strike there affects domestic supply, signals economic warfare, and raises risks for energy security worldwide.

Critical damage dealt to key nuclear site in Iran, says IAEA
TEHRAN: Israeli airstrikes dealt critical damage to a key Iranian nuclear facility during weekend airstrikes, according to the United Nations atomic watchdog, likely setting back Iran's uranium fuel cycle by months. The IAEA reported that multiple Israeli strikes against Iran's uranium-conversion facility at Isfahan, 400 km south of Tehran, resulted in serious damage. Successfully knocking out Isfahan would be significant because it's the only location for converting uranium into the feedstock used by centrifuges, which in turn separate the uranium isotopes needed for nuclear power or bombs. The IAEA reported late Friday that Israel had so far failed to damage Iran's Fordow enrichment complex, which is buried some 1,640 feet inside a mountain. Similarly, efforts to destroy to Iran's primary enrichment facility in Natanz have been limited to surface structures, with no detected breaches to the heavily-fortified underground enrichment halls. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Join new Free to Play WWII MMO War Thunder War Thunder Play Now Undo Diplomats will convene in Vienna on Monday for an emergency session of the IAEA's board of governors.
