The deployment of 8000 Pakistani soldiers, JF-17 fighter jets and HQ-9 air defense system in Saudi Arabia amid Iran-Israel tension has made the Middle East crisis more dangerous. Iran’s strictness on the Strait of Hormuz, stranding of 1500 ships and dwindling oil reserves are pushing the world towards a major energy and war crisis.
Iran Israel War: Amidst the fierce war raging in the Middle East, a sensational revelation has come to light which has given sleepless nights to the strategists of the whole world. According to an intelligence report quoted by news agency Reuters, Pakistan has secretly deployed 8,000 of its deadly soldiers in the desert of Saudi Arabia. Not only troops, but Islamabad has also deployed its most modern 16 JF-17 Thunder fighter jets, an entire squadron of drones and the dangerous HQ-9 air defense system manufactured in China to the Saudi Arabian front. Although the governments of both the countries have maintained official silence on this, but sources claim that the Saudi government itself is bearing the billions of dollars of expenses for this entire military deployment and Pakistan is ready to deploy more troops if needed.

Sea will become a graveyard: Iran bluntly tells America and new occupation of ‘Hormuz’
Meanwhile, the conflict between Iran and the US has now reached a point from which there seems to be no return. Iran has directly challenged the White House and asked it to immediately end the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has warned in a very scary tone that if America does not step back, the ‘Oman Sea’ will be turned into a graveyard for the US Navy. To implement this threat, Iran has formed a new and strict maritime organization named ‘Persian Gulf Strait Authority’ (PGSA). The decree issued on social media clearly states that now every commercial ship passing through Hormuz will have to take written permission from the Iranian Army, otherwise it will be considered ‘illegal’ and will be blown up.

Nuclear plant smolders: First drone attack in UAE and India’s ‘strict’ line
A heart-wrenching news from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) added fuel to this fire of tension. For the first time in history, a suicide drone attack was carried out targeting the UAE’s ‘Barakah Nuclear Power Plant’, after which a massive fire broke out on the exterior of the plant. The needle of this attack is turning directly on Iran. Amidst the international markets which were frightened by this incident, there came a news of relief and a matter of concern for India. India’s 15 LPG gas ships have somehow crossed this path of death (Hormuz) and reached Kandla Port. But seeing the worsening situation, India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Parvataneni Harish has taken a tough stance and warned the world that India will not accept blocking the path of commercial ships in Hormuz at any cost.

Only a few weeks of oil left! Trump’s closed-door mega-meeting and pile of dead bodies in Lebanon
The most terrible impact of this war is going to fall on the pockets of the world. Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), has issued a scary warning saying that due to the Hormuz Block, many countries of the world have released 25 lakh barrels of oil from their emergency quota daily into the market, due to which the world now has only a few weeks of ‘oil reserve’ left. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump is enraged by Iran’s delay. Trump has given a final ultimatum to Iran, saying that it should suspend its nuclear program for 20 years, otherwise be prepared to face serious consequences. Meanwhile, defying ceasefire claims, Israel has carried out more than 30 new air strikes on Lebanon, taking the death toll there to 3,020. At present, more than 1,500 merchant ships and 20 thousand sailors are stranded in the sea, on which the shadow of Iranian missile attack is looming.
