Attack on attack… Is Israel’s 6 Front War opening the door to the Third World War?

New Delhi: Iran fired a missile at Israel on Tuesday night, after which the fear increased whether the world is moving towards the Third World War. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said that this attack on Israel is revenge for the death of Hamas Chief Ismail Haniya, Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC Commander Abbas Nilforoshan. From the Israeli side it was said that Iran made a big mistake and now Iran will be given a reply by choosing the right time and right place. America, which is continuously supporting Israel, also supported Israel in destroying the missiles fired by Iran.

But Israel said that about 200 missiles were fired at it, most of which were shot down. Israeli Defense Forces said that our defense was effective and our air force is fully prepared with its capacity.

Israel is currently in a 6 front war

US troop deployment increased, US Navy ready at sea

After Iran’s attack, US President Joe Biden said that we will send more troops to the Middle East. 40 thousand American soldiers are already present there. The US military actively helped protect Israel during the Iranian attack. Along with the deployment of American troops, the American Navy is also deployed in large numbers in the Middle East. There is a carrier strike group of the US Navy as well as several war ships.

Wasp is the US Navy’s amphibious ready group in the Mediterranean Sea. It has three ships with 4500 sailors and marine commandos. It is here that the US Navy’s warships USS Bulkley, UAS Oak Hill, USS New York, USS Arling Burke, USS Cole are deployed. US Navy’s warships USS Frank E Peterson, USS Michael Murphy, USS Stockdale, USS Spruance are deployed on the Red Sea. All of them are keeping vigil near the Gulf of Aden and are taking action against Houthi.

Warship UASS Oaken and Carrier Strike Group Abraham Lincoln are deployed in the Gulf of Oman. Along with this, USS George Aurea has also been sent towards the Persian Gulf, which is a guided missile submarine.

Are there steps towards third world war?

Director General of the Center for Joint Warfare Studies and defense expert Major General Ashok Kumar (retired) says that earlier speculations were being made whether Iran would join this war or not. It was also being said that Iran’s own economic condition is not good because there are many sanctions imposed on it. Also, there is a distance of about 2 thousand kilometers between Iran and Israel, so only long range weapons can be used.

There is also internal turmoil in Iran regarding the current regime, hence it was being said that Iran would probably not participate in the war. Hezbollah and Nasrallah’s team had greatly supported Iran’s cause and Nasrallah’s killing became an issue of self-respect for Iran. Although Iran had also fired missiles at Israel in April, but almost all the missiles were shot down. But some missiles fell on Israel in Iran’s attack on Tuesday night.

Major General Ashok Kumar (retired) said that Israel has said that we will take action, in our own time and manner. he/she said that if Israel does not respond immediately, then it can be considered a possibility that Israel believes that the message has been sent from its side and no one wants the extension of the war. Then there is a chance that the war will not expand further.

But if Israel attacks like the statements coming from Israel, then there is a possibility that America may also get directly involved in it. America is still fully supporting Israel, but is not directly involved. he/she said that the situation is very delicate, which direction it will go depends on what Israel does, whether the US gets directly involved or not and how Iran responds.

International affairs expert Sanjeev Srivastava says that the international community cannot afford a third world war. Because if this happens then it will again be a nuclear war and no superpower will want to go into it. he/she said that during the Second World War, only America had nuclear weapons, but today all the big powers have nuclear weapons. he/she says that limited war is more likely to continue. Israel will continue to attack Hezbollah and Houthi. he/she said that Iran has also said that we have taken revenge and we do not want to go to war. Israel also would not want the war to escalate further. At the same time, America will also try to ensure that it does not spread further because it harms everyone.
