Does the world need another war?

It was 9.30am on Feb 28, 2026, when Tehran was rocked by an attack by the US-Israeli joint forces, targeting key military facilities and the Iranian leadership. While the Iranians did not respond immediately, as we are now aware, the war in Iran has now entered its third week and counting.

Markets have reacted, with the most profound move seen in the price of oil, which has jumped more than 50% since the war began. The United States, in its defence of making the first move, has used multiple reasons to justify its action, but these are seen as mere excuses, as the current administration is seen as a mere puppet of the Israeli leadership.
