West Asia’s fault lines sharpened as the Iran-Israel-US triangle inched toward confrontation. Tehran insisted uranium enrichment is its “birth-right,” ignoring U.S. President Donald Trump’s red-line. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened “full retaliation” for any new strike, citing Israel and American bases in Iraq, Syria and the Gulf. Analysts warn Iran could also choke energy flows by throttling exports or blocking the Strait of Hormuz, which handles one-fifth of global oil. Regional bourses slid and crude futures ticked higher, while Indian pharma and food exporters appealed to New Delhi for guidance amid the gathering uncertainty. #iranisraeltensions #middleeastcrisis #usiranconflict #WestAsiaWarDrums #iranretaliation #iran #isarael #usa
