US Iran War: The increasing tension between America and Iran has once again made the situation extremely tense. Iran has activated its defense system. Recently, news of air defense system being activated has come to light in Iran’s capital Tehran. According to reports, air defense systems were heard operating in many parts of the city to intercept “hostile targets”.
The conflict over the Strait of Hormuz is continuously increasing. Amid the blockade, US President Donald Trump has ordered that any small boat laying mines be immediately destroyed. He also claimed that at present America has complete control over Hormuz. Amidst this tension, India has issued a new advisory for its citizens and advised them to leave Iran. Earlier, the incident of seizure of a ship coming from Dubai to Gujarat by Iran’s IRGC naval commandos has further increased the concern.
Israeli warning
On the other hand, making the regional situation more serious, Israel has also given a strong warning to Iran. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that his army is fully prepared for any action and the targets of possible attacks have also been identified. He indicated that America’s green signal was being awaited to attack Iran.
At the same time, Iran has set a new condition for opening the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran says the waterway will not be opened until its nearly $11 trillion seized assets are released.
Iran’s condition on Hormuz
Meanwhile, America also had to give clarification in a separate dispute. A social media repost of President Trump included controversial comments by radio host Michael Savage, in which objectionable words were said about some countries including India. On this, the US Embassy spokesperson clarified that Trump considers India a “great country” and calls its leadership his “good friend”.
Responding briefly to this issue, Randhir Jaiswal said that he had seen the related news, but did not comment further on it. The increasing tension in the Strait of Hormuz, military preparations and diplomatic deadlock seem to be pushing the entire West Asia region towards a serious crisis.
