00:00The United States says it may be winding down the war with Iran, but at the same time, the conflict
00:06appears to be intensifying.
00:07Recent statements from President Trump suggest that the U.S. is close to achieving its military objectives.
00:13He even claimed that the other side is being obliterated.
00:16But behind these statements, a different reality is unfolding.
00:20The war has now entered its third week, and instead of slowing down, it is expanding.
00:26At the center of this conflict is one of the most important locations in the world, the Strait of Hormuz.
00:32This narrow waterway connects the Persian Gulf to global markets, and a massive portion of the world's oil and natural
00:39gas passes through it every day.
00:41Iran has used a combination of drones, missiles, and naval threats to disrupt this critical rout.
00:48Even the threat of blocking the strait has been enough to shake global markets, and the consequences are already visible.
00:54Oil prices have surged to around $112 per barrel, rising, Moratan, 50% since the conflict began.
01:02Global stock markets are reacting.
01:05The S&P 500 has declined, reflecting growing uncertainty.
01:09Energy costs are rising, and countries around the world are beginning to feel the pressure.
01:13But the conflict is no longer limited to one location.
01:16Drone and missile attacks have hit energy infrastructure across multiple countries in the Middle East.
01:22Refineries, gas fields, and storage facilities have been damaged.
01:26This is no longer just a regional war.
01:29It is becoming a global economic threat.
01:31Countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates are now actively intercepting incoming attacks.
01:40Air defense systems are constantly engaged, and tensions are rising across the entire region.
01:47Meanwhile, the United States has taken an unexpected step.
01:51In an effort to stabilize oil prices, it has temporarily lifted sanctions on some Iranian oil that is already at
01:59sea.
01:59This decision could release millions of barrels into the market, but experts believe the impact may be limited.
02:05Much of this oil has already been sold or accounted for, and global supply chains remain unstable.
02:11At the same time, questions are emerging about Iran's leadership.
02:15The new supreme leader has not appeared publicly.
02:18There are reports suggesting serious injuries and internal uncertainty.
02:22This raises concerns about control and decision-making within the country, and on the ground.
02:31The human cost continues to rise.
02:34Thousands of civilians have been killed across the region.
02:37Cities have been damaged.
02:39Families displaced.
02:41And the situation remains unstable.
02:44So, what does all of this mean?
02:47Is the war actually coming to an end?
02:50Or is it entering a more dangerous and unpredictable phase?
02:53Because in modern warfare, the battlefield is not just physical.
02:57It is economic and it is digital.
03:00And it is psychological, what leaders say.
03:05Publicly, often does not reflect what is happening behind the scenes.
03:09And sometimes, the most dangerous phase of a conflict is the one just before it appears to end.
03:16So the real question is not just whether this war will stop, but what happens next.
03:20If it doesn't...
03:22If it doesn't...
03:22...
