Following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, President Donald Trump has warned that a third wave of military attacks is coming for Iran. The President claimed that previous U.S.-Israeli strikes have already “knocked out” Iran’s navy, air force, and radar systems. As Iran and its allies begin to retaliate against U.S. bases and Israel, Trump defended the move, stating he acted to prevent Tehran from launching an assault first.

A sharp exchange of words has erupted between West Bengal Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya and Chief Electoral Officer Manoj Agarwal. After the CEO lectured officials on “service rules,” the Minister hit back by citing a past CBI chargesheet involving his family’s assets. Mr. Agarwal has dismissed the claims as an attempt to “give a dog a bad name and hang him,” pointing to a court acquittal and decades of transparent tax filings.

Following the high-stakes strike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, President Donald Trump has cautioned that the military engagement in West Asia—initially projected to last one month—could become a significantly longer conflict. While the President maintains that operations are currently “ahead of schedule,” the war has rapidly expanded, with Israel striking Lebanon and Tehran targeting oil facilities in the Gulf. As the U.S. shifts its focus toward dismantling Iran’s nuclear and naval capabilities, the administration faces growing domestic scrutiny over the intelligence and alliances that triggered the escalation.

As military tensions escalate in the Middle East, the world’s most critical maritime artery—the Strait of Hormuz—has become a flashpoint for global economic anxiety. Responsible for the passage of nearly 20% of the world’s daily oil supply, this narrow waterway serves as an irreplaceable gateway for energy exports from the Persian Gulf. The article explores how even a partial disruption to this route could bypass traditional market logic, sending crude oil prices soaring due to skyrocketing insurance premiums, shipping risks, and the lack of viable pipeline alternatives. For oil-dependent nations like India, the stakes are particularly high, as a blockade would not only threaten energy security but also trigger a wave of domestic inflation and fiscal instability.
