- The recent rocket strike in the Golan Heights, killing 12 children and teenagers, has escalated tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, with fears of an all-out war growing.
- Cross-border fire has intensified since October, with both sides suffering significant casualties, and Israel responding with air strikes and missiles into southern Lebanon.
- The Israeli government is under pressure to retaliate strongly, with Prime Minister Netanyahu promising a heavy price for Hezbollah, while the Lebanese militant group denies responsibility for the deadly rocket.
- Hezbollah's significant arsenal and its backing by Iran pose a substantial threat, complicating Israel's potential military response, especially with its resources stretched in Gaza.
- Domestic political pressures on Netanyahu, coupled with international calls for restraint, create a volatile situation as the region braces for possible further escalation.

US Prepared for Possible Significant Attacks in Middle East by Iran, White House Says

Oh man :(

Corporate Strategist

Iranian government is preparing to strike Israel knowing how ruthless the response can be. With big brother US telling it in open to protect ‘Israel’, I don’t know why Iran is committing this grave mistake. US needs a reason to strike Iran and getting it served in a plate. 

India would be impacted as crude will jump leading to more $ outflows.
