Fresh strikes, rising Hormuz tensions and widening global reactions have pushed the Iran-Israel conflict into a more dangerous phase, with energy security now firmly at the centre.

The conflict in West Asia took another dangerous turn on March 20, with Iran launching fresh strikes and Israel putting its defences on high alert. Overnight, missile alerts were sounded in parts of Israel, while leaders on both sides hardened their positions, making it clear that the crisis is still moving in the wrong direction.
What began on February 28 has now grown far beyond a three-country confrontation. The fighting is hitting energy routes, dragging in regional powers, and forcing countries like India, Japan, and the UK to respond to the fallout. With the Strait of Hormuz under strain and oil markets already reacting, the war is no longer just a battlefield story; it is now a global one.
