Geo Politics Time: Middle East on the Boil after Israel-US vs Iran War

Disclaimer: The views and any points presented here are based on my personal understanding after going through News and Videos on the current Mid East situation. No intentional bias against any country or community should be made out here. It is easy to start a war. Difficult to predict or control its end. Now, after the start of the war between US-Israel and Iran, we are seeing terrible attacks and counterattacks. Iran has suffered serious damages and death of its Top clerical Supreme Leader, Khamenei. Yet Iran has used its stocks of Drones (mainly Shahed 136(if I remember the name correctly)) and Missiles ranging from short range to longer range ones - Subsonic, Cruise, Super and Hypersonic ones with devastating effect not only against Israel and US bases in Mid East but beyond. It seems to have erred in targeting Airports, city areas and well, crazily an Amazon Data Centre in Dubai! Its counter attacks have angered Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. And well, to the surprise of many, the mediator in the talks : Oman ! Hezbollah, Houthis too have jumped in. Major World Oil and Trade route - Strait of Hormuz has been closed. Its connecting point is not so wide so closing it for Iran was not going to be very difficult. Part of Red Sea has been closed by the Houthis in Yemen. War and its news or the coverage might seem glorious. Yet, the killings of soldiers, many of whom are unconcerned by the ideologies of their commanders, the common people, their sufferings: all this makes War the biggest enemy of the well being of people anywhere in the world. At times I believe that may be we need a Nuclear WWIII and death for all who already suffer poverty, crime, pollution, deprivation, hunger, discrimination. For what they live on this planet, and won't death be better! For what use are the riches of this world if people suffer so much ! But may be I am getting carried away. May be such wars and conflicts would continue. Common people would suffer and so would the Militaries. Would the so called "Leaders" shed their ego, arrogance, Greed for Money and Power. Or may be I believe in Utopia too often! Over to you Friends !
