Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[SteppeWolff]

Any concrete evidence of this?

The war is shocking the global economy because Strait of Hormuz is closed? through which about 20% of the world’s oil passes. Tanker traffic has collapsed and oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel. This is raising shipping costs, disrupting supply chains, and increasing global inflation risks, which is why markets and policymakers are reacting so strongly right now. You could very well have a global recession if this continues. GCC states crude output is already having a sharp nosedive, and it'll take some time to get it back to normal.

I wonder if there is a death warrant for Netanyahu like there is for Rushdie.

doesnt he have an arrest warrant in european countries? but they dont seem to care about so called rules based order when the shoe is on the other foot. bunch of hypocrites.

Sinking a few tankers now is necessary to show them that hormuz is locked.

One wrong sinking at a wrong place in Hormuz, and the straits will get blocked for a long time.

Dangerous territory to tread

Planet labs went from delaying therelease of satellite photos for 96hrs to 336hrs(14 days).

This means the damage israel and US have taken is very very bad and large.

Just keep strait of hormuz closed for another 20 days, accept the pain and fight on. Clock is ticking... Count down.

Trump and macron tried to manipulate the price by lies, the manipulation will work for a few days only. Sinking a few tankers now is necessary to show them that hormuz is locked.

Agreed. The price of a barrel of oil is around $90 as we speak, down from a high of $120 but still above $65 at the start of this conflict. Trump / Macron deceit may have won the week for them regarding oil prices.

Do you think postwar the GCC / West will pivot from tankers to pipelines to export their precious oil ? New pipelines to Israel or to their new pet on the Syrian coast ?

So far the global markets are holding out, maybe if it continues for a month or so, things would look different but as of now and today, the impact on global economy is negligible.

Markets haven’t collapsed yet, but the shock comes from the risk to the Strait of Hormuz, which carries about 20% of global oil trade. Oil prices, shipping insurance, and market volatility have already reacted. Macroeconomic effects like inflation or slower growth usually appear weeks later if the disruption continues.

An Iranian missile will have to be way off target to strike the Dome of Rock, if you know enough about the location of that place. However, Israelis, IF they feel like they can get away, especially in a fog of war, are likely to finally 'settle' by destroying and then blaming the Iranians. Some Israeli Rabbi or someone even recently said something like that.

And maybe when India's Modi was in Israel recently, he may have said something like 'Look, how we Hindus in India finally settled the 500 year old Babri Masjid issue in 1992. You can do that too'.

Recent Incidents (March 2026):

• March 1, 2026: A warhead from an Iranian missile landed in the Sultan's Pool area, just meters from the Old City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
• March 7-8, 2026: Air defense systems intercepted Iranian missiles over Jerusalem, resulting in falling debris and explosions reported near residential areas.

Türkiye is not going to get in a conflict/war with Iran.

What reason would Türkiye involve herself in this? ...

It'll be wise for Iranians not to get into a conflict with Turkiye.

Iran isn't the only country that can fire missiles and launch drones.

So far, only 2 countries (the US and Zion) are attacking Iran.

In the 11 days so far, Iran's civilian and military infrastructure appears to have been decimated.

Which countries would be worst hit from this disaster? Can you name a few fragile economies of the world?

Perhaps. Perhaps not. Could be any number of reasons for the extended delay. You're certainly entitled to your theory which I will respect.

I do agree with the lack of photos coming out of Israel.
