In West Asia, the case for ceasefire
Jun 23, 2025 08:51 PM IST West Asia appears to be hurtling into an unprecedented crisis after the US joined Israel's conflict with Iran by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites. Tehran has vowed retaliation. US President Donald Trump has been quick to describe the bombing of Iranian sites as a spectacular success and American officials claim that Tehran's nuclear capabilities have been severely degraded. Iran's leadership has said it reserves the right to retaliate against the US, but has not done so far, with Iranian missile barrages still being directed against Israel. The Israeli military has responded with more strikes on military targets. Clearly, the situation could spiral out of control, with severe political, strategic and economic consequences for the world. The world community should get to work on all the players to talk peace because a prolonged conflict in a region that generates most of the world's energy supplies. (Getty Images via AFP) After Iran's parliament backed the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20% of the world's oil and gas supplies flow, a senior Iranian official has said a final decision will be made by the Supreme National Security Council. However, the impact of Iran's threat to close the crucial water body is already having an impact on oil prices and global financial markets. Any closure will have significant ramifications for India, which imports about 40% of its oil and half of its gas through the strait. Iran's leadership has said there can be no talks when the country is under attack, suggesting it may return to the negotiating table if a peace deal is on offer. That should happen. For while Trump may still hint at a regime change in Iran, American and Israeli analysts have clarified that such a move is only aspirational. To be sure, the Khamenei regime has survived only because Iran has been a country under siege and the recent attacks by Israel and the US have only served to unite the Iranian people. Left to its own devices, Iran's street may on its own force a regime change, but that is for the Iranian people to decide. The world community should get to work on all the players to talk peace because a prolonged conflict in a region that generates most of the world's energy supplies will have devastating consequences for the global economy in a year that is already expected to be the worst in terms of growth since 2008 (barring the pandemic year).

Despite the U.S. Embassy's caution, Qatar's government affirmed there is no immediate danger to residents or visitors/ Image: U.S. Embassy Doha, Qatar Authorities in Qatar have assured the public that the country's security remains stable and under close observation, following an advisory from the United States Embassy in Doha urging American citizens to "shelter in place. " The move by the embassy, which came shortly after U.S. airstrikes targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, prompted concerns and questions about potential regional fallout. However, Qatari officials have emphasized that there are no credible threats within the nation's borders. Foreign Embassies Issue Precautionary Notices On Monday, the U.S. Embassy in Doha sent an alert via email to American nationals residing in Qatar. The message advised recipients to "shelter in place until further notice," citing no specific threat but describing the advisory as being made 'out of an abundance of caution.' The warning follows the U.S. military's bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities early Sunday morning, an escalation that has stirred regional tensions. No further details were provided in the embassy's communication regarding the nature or source of any perceived threat. Qatari Officials Respond with Assurance In a swift response to growing public concern, Dr. Majed Al Ansari, Advisor to the Qatari Prime Minister and official spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the advisories from foreign embassies, including that of the United States, 'do not necessarily reflect the existence of specific or credible threats.' Dr. Al Ansari took to social media platform X to clarify the Qatari government's position, writing: 'These advisories do not necessarily reflect the existence of specific or credible threats. We would like to reassure the public that the security situation in the State remains stable. The relevant authorities are closely monitoring the situation and remain fully prepared to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of citizens, residents and visitors. The public will be kept informed of any developments that may warrant notification or action, and we stress the importance of obtaining information from official sources.' He further reiterated that Qatar's security services are "fully prepared to take any necessary measures" to maintain public safety. Diplomatic Focus on Regional Stability Beyond internal security, Qatar has been actively engaging in diplomacy to manage the unfolding crisis in the region. On Sunday, following the U.S. strikes on Iran, the Qatari government expressed "regret over the deterioration of the situation" and voiced "deep concern" about the consequences of the attack on the three nuclear sites. In its official statement, the government called for the immediate cessation of all military operations and stressed the urgent need to return to diplomatic negotiations. Dr. Majed Al Ansari, according to statements made on behalf of the government, said that Qatar continues to make active diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions and maintain regional stability by engaging with key stakeholders and both regional and international partners.
