Iran STRIKES Dubai, Houthis CLOSE Bab al-Mandeb, TENSIONS?

-

 The Middle East conflict has entered a critical phase. America has reportedly attacked Iran continuously for 7 hours. They attacked the ports, Bandar Abbas, Shirik Island, Kharg Island. Chabhar Port. 

The attacks were not confined to military infrastructure, but civilian infrastructure were also targeted. Shahid Baqaei Hospital, a children's cancer treatment in Ahvaz, was evacuated last night after the U.S. attacked a nearby location. 

The barbaric attack caused severe suffering and anxiety upon the hospitalized children, and forced the emergency evacuation of 211 patients undergoing chemotherapy, with a great difficulty.

In response, Iran also made retaliation attack, by targeting on Bharain and Kuwait, but recently, Iran has carried attacks on UAE and Abu Dhabi

Lately, the U.S. President, Donald Trump, stated that they are the guardian angels of the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the announcement only 8 to 10 ships pass transitted in the last 24 hours,  whereas before the war, 130 to 140 ships used to pass. 



According the sources, it is possible that a  blockade can be imposed. Iran has already imposed the blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. 

According to Reuters, Iran has asked the Houthis of Yemen to close the Bab al-Manab Strait. They quoted two Iranian sources thatmissiles and drones have already been deployed. They have made complete preparations for blockade. 

According to the report, if America attacks Iran's power structure then they will start their retaliatory action.The IRGC representatives in Yemen will decide when Strait of Hormuz will  closed.

If the Strait of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandeb (Red Sea) is affected, then the two most important oil routes of the Middle East, the main source of import and export, will be immensely affecting the globe. 

7% oil of the world's oil flows through the Red Sea and 15% to 18% from Strait of Hormuz. So if both these get closed a major oil supply will be impacted. If prolonged Saudi Arabia will have the highest loss. 70% of the kingdom's crude oil export through Yanbu Terminal on the Red Sea.

The Houthis have warned if Red Sea is blocked, the price of crude oil will reach $200 per barrel. When oil price will increase, the transportation cost will also rise making goods expensive. 

Iran has also claimed that U.A.E. is also involved with America in carrying out attacks against Iran. As per the footage released by Iranian military showed that in the last three days U.A.E has taken direct military action against Iran. 

Accordng to Iranian media, U.A.E. has attacked Bandar Abbas with a drone. After this, there is a huge possibility of a major retaliation attack. 

Moreover, the UAE has not accepted these allegations. If additional regional actors become directly involved, the conflict could broaden significantly.

The battle is no longer confined to missiles and airstrikes. Control over strategic maritime chokepoints has become a powerful economic weapon. Any disruption at Hormuz or Bab al-Mandeb would ripple through oil prices, shipping costs, inflation, and supply chains across the world

 The Middle East Power is shifting, as the war continues to function many significant developments have taken place.  SAUDI - UAE's DENIAL When Operation Freedom started, U.A.E and Saudi clearly refused America for using their bases and airspace for Operation Freedom.   Iran had initially warned for military escalation to neighboring countries, specifically to U.A.E & Saudi, if they allow U.S. to uses their bases.  The way Iran has hit in last 39-40 days, the occupancy of hotels in Dubai which used to be 100% has come down to 10%. In the second hit, the space got closed several times. Leaving no choice for them except unaccommodating with America. This surges Iran's power and the limits of coalition support.  OPERATION FREEDOM PAUSED? The U.S. blockade in the Sea of Oman does not seem to be effective, whereas Iran is continuously expanding its reach beyond the Street of Hormuz.  A living example of this is that on Monday, it fired a missile at Fuj...

As the Middle East Conflict moves, enters a new strategic move- 14 point proposal.  14 POINT PROPOSAL Iran has presented a 14-point peace proposal to Donald Trump via Pakistan. The proposal is a response with amendments in the American 9-point formula, aimed to end the war in the next 30 days rather than extending the ceasefire.  As per Syed Abbas Araghchi , Iran's proposal demands withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iran's surroundings, lifting the naval blockade with a new Hormuz mechanism, lifting sanctions, releasing Iran's frozen assets, and paying compensation. After the previous proposal Iran decided to first negotiate the blockade and conditions of the Hormuz, & remain the nuclear deal for the next two months. In contradiction, the U.S. demanded: That discussion of nuclear enrichment will take place however, no conclusion shall be reached.  By the time discussions focuses on non-nuclear things, Iran should not extract highly enriched uranium, especially from ...

TRUMP's CONFUSING MESSAGES In an interview,  Donald Trump ( U.S. President) stated Good news about a  possible fresh round of talks between the U.S. and Iran  as soon as Friday. Although, as per Tasnim, Iran currently has "no plans" to negotiate with the U.S. on Friday.  The messaging is shifting by hours, from "guns ready" to "ceasefire extensions", the signals lack consistency. IRAN'S RESPONSE At present, Iran has backed up from any kind of negotiation Ismail Bhagel  (Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson) proclaimed that Iran has no decision on joining Islamabad talks due to "confusing messages" by U.S. &  deemed it as flawed behavior of a country, serious about diplomacy. He also listed Washington's various ceasefire violations.  Additionally,  Ghalibaf ( Iran's parliamentary speaker) declared, the complete ceasefire will be considered valid only when sea blockade are terminated & action of holding the world economy ...
