“Some of our neighbors are angry… I wish they understood that what is going on in the region is not our fault. This is not our choice; this is a war imposed on us by the United States and Israel. If they are angry, they should be angry at the United States and Israel. They shouldn’t pressure us to stop this war; they should pressure the other side” – Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi (01.03.2026).
The airports of the Middle East is closed. Airlines have suspended flights and cancellations are en-mass. There is no end in sight. Yes, Trump tried to call Teheran to re-start talks, but who believes in the Americans or Israeli negotiators now?
Who would believe or consider talks with people who started a war and a conflict in the midst of a diplomatic mission and holding dialogue between Iran and the United States. That one is dead in the water or shattered by the usage of missiles and ordering “regime change” with a white USA cap on. So, please remind yourself of just that and how bad faith the U.S. has been in this regard.
Shipping through Gulf will cease or be done for some time. The shipping companies and the insurance brokers won’t relent, as they are viable targets. So, the merchants and the ones selling goods won’t dare to cross the region. The Gulf states and such will ensure higher prices. The war and the conflict will make worse inflation globally. Not only for the region here, but the whole world will feel it. As such vital industries and logistical operations will be costly, therefore, the consumers and ordinary people will take the price for the ones waging war.
We cannot imagine how this will affect Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Jordan. Not to mention the steady bombardment in retaliation against Israel. So, this conflict has major consequences. Not just for businesses but for the whole populations of the region. The Gulf states and such are really touched by. That’s because American-Israeli forces decided to attack Iran. Then Iran attacked vital parts of the geopolitical American assets and bases in the region. It has done this and continues to do so. Now it has even furthered the case and done so in Cyprus too. Therefore, this war is just becoming bigger.
This shows what happens when you have erratic and rash decisions making instead of thinking things long term. Because now the Netanyahu and Trump has to live with the prolong consequence of the conflict. They have to carry the weight and the possible escalations of it. This here is just the beginning and we are seeing it is spiralling out. There will be death and destruction. That’s not only in Teheran and where-ever else the axis is attacking in Iran. No, Iran is also striking back and know where to go. So, this will be bloody and the Iranian has reason to avenge or revenge their martyrs. The Iranians are actually doing it in defence and for the assassination of the leadership that was lost. They got all the reasons and excuses in the world to not trust or to even have faith in Tel Aviv or Washington D.C, because why should they? Instead of talking, they are bombing and doing so willy-nilly too.
There is nothing positive coming out of it. Only more shock doctrine and heavy lifting for no common good. This is just depleting and murder in the air. Who believes this would build anything or create a better new world?
Trump and Netanyahu should get the blunt criticism for this. Netanyahu even cowardly flown away and into safety in Berlin with his “Wings of Zion”. So, the leader of Israel couldn’t even stay behind and face the music.
This is just the beginning. Just the start and there will be more blood. There will be more tears and more suffering. The price of this war will come, in lives and in monies. It will all rise, the devastation is unknown now. However, later it will all be unfolded and the reports will show the true ramifications of all of it. Peace.
