I sincerely hope that Israel refrains from launching a direct attack on Iran in the coming minutes. Such an escalation would not only destabilize regional security but could also have profound and immediate impacts on global humanitarian and economic systems. The fallout from a potential conflict could disrupt energy supply chains, food logistics, maritime trade, and key commercial corridors across the Middle East. These disruptions would likely trigger inflationary pressures worldwide, strain supply-demand dynamics, and significantly impact civilian life and ecological balance.
Geopolitical tensions of this scale are also immediately reflected in global financial markets. Assets considered safe havens—such as gold and Bitcoin—would likely surge, while stock markets may experience sharp volatility, particularly in sectors like energy, defense, and technology. Investors tend to flee risk during such crises, leading to capital outflows from emerging markets and placing intense pressure on their currencies and equities. For the sake of humanity, nature, and future generations, I hope this situation deescalates peacefully before irreversible damage is done.
