By targeting the GCC countries and blocking Straits of Hormuz, Iran has hit at global economy. After three weeks of US-Israel-Iran war, Tehran has fired more than 3000 different projectiles at the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) and has inevitably deepened the Shia-Sunni divide in the Middle-East. By targeting UAE in particular with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and drones, Iran has made all the six Sunni dominated GCC countries collateral damage to the US-Israel offensive, changed the dynamics of the Middle-East equation and hit at the heart of the concept of Ummah. With Iran unveiling its intermediate range ballistic missiles used…

Even though the Iranian missiles did not hit their target in the Indian Ocean, the implications go beyond success. Diego Garcia is a critical hub for US ops. Iran’s failed strike roughly 4,000 kilometres away on the Diego Garcia air base in the Indian Ocean this week is now raising an even bigger question: Are Tehran’s military capabilities more that what’s known? The attack, though unsuccessful, is significant for what it suggests rather than what it achieved. Iran reportedly fired two ballistic missiles at the joint UK-US base, marking the first known instance in the current conflict where Tehran appears…

By targeting energy production, Tehran has added further strain to global supplies already under pressure. Iran has widened the scope of its offensive to target oil and natural gas infrastructure across the Gulf, sharply escalating a conflict that is already rippling through global energy markets. The impact is already visible in Qatar, a cornerstone of global LNG supply, a significant part of which has been knocked out for five years after extensive damage by missile strikes on its Ras Laffan LNG facility, the country reportedly announced on Friday. The attack could cost Qatar $20 billion a year in lost revenue.…
