Introduction: In the last few years, there has been a war-like situation in West Asia in which thousands of people have seen their people dying in front of them and have experienced their death. It did not matter whether those people we met momentarily were alive or dead because the whole world was engaged in the race of development.
It seemed as if someone's death or living had no impact on humanity. But this time it seems that the situation is going to change completely because this time two big A clash of powers has begun, increasing global political tensions as a possible direct conflict between Israel and Iran has become a matter of serious concern. When we encounter words like 'the beginning of the Israel-Iran war', naturally The fear of a terrible tragedy arises in the mind. This will not just be a conflict between two countries, but it could have deep and devastating consequences for all of humanity.
This article focuses on this concern, in which the arrogance of leaders, mutual hostility, and the threat to the lives of crores of people The potential threat will be analyzed, and the role of the United Nations (UNO) will also be highlighted.
Arrogance or mutual enmity of leaders: threat to the lives of crores of people The roots of any conflict often lie in personal ambitions, historical grievances, and competition for power. Same is the case with Israel and Iran. The rhetoric between the leaders of the two countries is often sharp and aggressive, which reflects their 'mutual enmity'. Reflects. This enmity is not merely political, but a complex mix of religious, ideological, and strategic interests.
Ego of leaders: Ego often leads leaders to ignore its broader consequences. forces for. To protect or enhance their position, power, and legacy, they make decisions that can put the lives of millions at risk. Israel is extremely sensitive about its security, especially Iran's nuclear program and its growing influence in the region. looking at. At the same time, it always considers itself a big regional power and considers Israel a pawn of American imperialism.
The conflict between these two viewpoints, in which retreat on either side is considered weakness. Could create a dangerous situation. Legacy of mutual enmity: Enmity between Israel and Iran is nothing new. Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, when Iran became an Islamic republic, relations between the two countries have grown rapidly.
Iran does not recognize Israel's existence and supports the Palestinian cause. At the same time, Israel considered Iran a major threat to its security, especially its ballistic missile program and groups such as Lebanon's Hezbollah and Gaza's Hamas. Because of his support. This deep-rooted hostility has been continuously instigating both the countries against each other.
Threat to the lives of millions of people: The consequences of the conflict between Iran and Israel would be catastrophic, not only for the Middle East but also globally. Here we have tried to understand about
10 major effects in detail:
1. Huge surge in oil prices and global inflation: This is the most immediate and widespread is one of the effects. Iran is one of the world's leading oil producers and controls the Strait of Hormuz, through which more than 20% of the world's oil trade passes. If the conflict escalates and Iran threatens to close the strait or If the U.S. shuts down, crude oil prices could skyrocket, increasing the cost of fuel, transportation and freight globally. This will further increase the already existing inflationary pressure across the world and make goods and services costlier for the common man.
2. Expansion of instability and regional conflicts in the Middle East: This conflict could increase instability in the Middle East to dangerous levels. Iran has proxy groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza and Houthi in Yemen. Direct conflict with Israel would further strengthen these proxy groups. could activate, leading to expansion of conflicts in neighboring countries like Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq. This could escalate into a full-scale regional war, leading to increased humanitarian crisis and displacement.
3. Negative impact on the global economy: In addition to increasing oil prices, the conflict could disrupt global supply chains. attacks on trade routes, closure of airspace and Increase in shipping costs will affect international trade. Investors will turn to safe-haven assets such as gold and government bonds, while stock markets may decline. This may slow down global economic growth.
4. Changes in geopolitical equations and intervention of big powers: This conflict may directly involve global powers such as the US, Russia, China and the EU. The US is a major ally of Israel, while Russia and China have relations with Iran. If the conflict escalates, these major powers may become directly or indirectly involved, altering the global geopolitical balance and increasing pressure on international diplomacy.
5. Threat of nuclear proliferation: Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear program have increased the threat of Iran's withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). If Iran rapidly advances its nuclear program and tries to acquire nuclear weapons, it could threaten the region. A nuclear arms race could begin in the future, which would be a major threat to global security.
6. Humanitarian crisis and displacement: The most tragic outcome of any major conflict is a humanitarian crisis. Attacks on cities, destruction of infrastructure and increasing violence kill large numbers of people who may be displaced, leading to a refugee crisis and increased need for humanitarian assistance.

There could be an increase in missile and drone attacks from Iranian proxy groups and directly from Iran, putting pressure on its cities and military bases. Israel Will have to rely heavily on its air defense systems.
10. Impact on India: India imports about 85% of its crude oil requirement. The increase in oil prices will have a direct impact on India's economy, which will increase inflation. and the trade deficit may increase. Pressure on the rupee may also increase. Additionally, the safety of millions of Indian expatriates living in the Middle East may also become a concern, and closure of airspace may also impact flights. India peace and de-
Escalation has been appealed.
It is important to note that this conflict is currently escalating, and the severity of these impacts will depend on the war's longevity, intensity, and role of other countries involved. Will depend.
