**The War Between Iran, America, and Israel: A Terrible Crisis Coming to the World – A Simple and Complete Story**
Hello friends,
Today I'm writing a full blog post for you. This article is in very simple language, so that everyone – whether a schoolchild, a farmer, a shopkeeper, or anyone else – can easily understand. The topic is: the ongoing war between Iran, America, and Israel, and the major crisis it poses to the entire world.
I've divided it into several parts – history, what's happening today, the role of each country, and most importantly – what crises are coming to the world. I've explained each point with examples.
Let's get started.
### Part 1: How Did This War Start? A Simple History
Friends, this war didn't start overnight. It's an old story, like an old family feud that gradually escalates into a war.
First, let's understand who Iran is. Iran is a large country in the Middle East. It has a lot of oil. Previously, a king (Shah) ruled there. In 1953, the US and Britain helped stage a coup to protect their oil business. But the Iranian people were angered.
In 1979, a revolution broke out in Iran. The people overthrew the king and established an Islamic Republic. The new leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, came to power. He declared America "the greatest devil of Satan" and Israel "the wrong country." This severed relations between the US and Iran. Israel also became Iran's enemy.
Then, in 1980, the Iran-Iraq War broke out. The US provided aid to Iraq. Iran, seeking revenge, formed "proxies," or allies—such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and militias in Iraq and Syria. These are known as Iran's "Axis of Resistance."
After 1990, Iran began a nuclear program. The world feared Iran might develop a bomb. In 2015, the US, Europe, Russia, and China reached an agreement—the JCPOA. Iran limited its nuclear program, and sanctions were lifted in return.
But in 2018, US President Trump broke the agreement and reimposed sanctions. Iran was enraged. In 2020, the US killed top Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani.
The Israel-Hamas war began in 2023. Iran supported Hamas and Hezbollah. In 2024, Iran and Israel launched direct attacks. Missiles were fired in April and October.
Another major incident occurred in 2025. The IAEA (the UN nuclear watchdog) said Iran was breaking the rules. Israel attacked in June 2025 – the "Twelve-Day War." The US also attacked Iran's nuclear plant. A ceasefire followed.
In 2026, massive protests broke out in Iran. People were fed up with inflation and unemployment. Security forces killed thousands. Trump declared, "We will teach Iran a lesson."
And then, on February 28, 2026, "Operation Epic Fury" began. The United States and Israel jointly launched hundreds of attacks on Iran. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, was killed. Many prominent leaders, missile factories, and air defenses were destroyed. Iran retaliated by firing missiles at Israel, US bases, and Gulf countries.
The Strait of Hormuz was closed. This is a narrow canal through which 20% of the world's oil passes. This is now the main cause of the crisis.
(This part has been written in detail. Let's move on.)
### Part 2: What's happening today? (Story up to March 2026 -
Now, let's talk about today. It's March 13, 2026. The war is in its 14th day.
The United States and Israel have struck thousands of targets. Over 50 Iranian Navy ships were sunk. Nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordo, and Isfahan were damaged. A school was also attacked, killing 175 children. The total number of deaths exceeds 1,800. Estimates of the death toll in Iran range from 1,255 to 4,300.
Mohataba Khamenei became Iran's new Supreme Leader. He stated, "We will continue the fight until US bases are closed."
Iran retaliated:
- Missiles fired at Israel.
- Hezbollah increased attacks on Israel in Lebanon.
- Attacks on airports, hotels, and oil plants in Gulf countries (Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, and Bahrain).
- Attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Over 16 ships were affected.
Israel increased attacks on Hezbollah in Lebanon. Bombs also fell in Beirut.
US President Trump says, "The war is progressing very quickly. We are winning." But sometimes he says, "We will launch more intense attacks."
The world is watching. The UN said, "Make peace immediately." But no major steps were taken. Russia and China helped Iran.
This war is no longer just between three countries; it has become a war between the entire Middle East.
(Here, I explained everyday events with simple examples—like the March 1st attack on Dubai, or someone throwing stones at a neighbor's house.)
### Part 3: Why does each country have a role?
America: Israel's biggest friend. Says, "Iran is developing a nuclear bomb, we must stop it." Trump wants regime change, i.e., changing Iran's government.
Israel: Says, "Iran threatens to destroy us. Hezbollah is a threat to us." Netanyahu said, "We will weaken Iran."
Iran: Says, "America and Israel are the aggressors. We are only defending." Hezbollah is instigating the fight with allies like the Houthis.
This is a "power game" between the three. Oil, nuclear, and territorial control.
### Part 4: The Crises Facing the World - The Main Part
Now the most important part. What crises are and will be brought to the world by this war? I'll explain each crisis separately, with simple examples.
**Crisis 1: A major oil and gas shock
The Strait of Hormuz is closed. 20% of the world's oil is imported. Qatar's LNG (liquefied gas) is also imported.
Oil used to be $80 per barrel. Now it's over $10. Petrol in the US has reached $3.50 per barrel. Petrol and diesel in India could become costlier by 10-15 rupees. In countries like Nepal, where oil comes from India, inflation is even higher.
Example: Imagine your bike's petrol price rising to 100 rupees per liter. Milk, vegetables, and bus fares are all expensive. Factories will shut down because utensils need oil.
Gas prices have also doubled. Home heating bills in Europe have risen. Electricity consumption has increased in Asia.
Crisis 2: Attack on the global economy
Stock markets have plummeted. The US Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 10 points. Europe and Asia are down 1-2%. India's inflation is also affected.
Inflation is where it is. The IMF says a 10% increase in oil prices increases inflation by 0.5%. Poor countries are most affected. Petrol lines formed in Bangladesh. Electricity prices in the Philippines, resulting in 4 days of work.
Nepal and India: Food prices are high. Farmers won't be able to buy fertilizer (because sulfur fertilizer comes from the Gulf). Crops are low, leading to hunger.
Recession threat: If the war continues, factories will close, jobs will be lost, and people will spend less. Goldman Sachs predicts permanent oil inflation.
Crisis 3: Air travel and tourism will collapse.
Dubai, Qatar, and Bahrain airports are closed. 4,000+ flights are canceled. Emirates and Qatar Airways are closed. Tourists are absent. Dubai's tourism "catastrophe."
People in India and Nepal are also affected. Tickets are expensive, making foreign travel difficult.
Crisis 4: Food prices are high.
Oil prices are high, trucks are expensive, and vegetables and fruits are expensive. Fertilizer prices are high, leading to reduced crops.
Hunger in Asia and Africa.
Crisis 5: Refugees and Humanitarian Crisis
800,000 people fled Lebanon. Schools and hospitals were destroyed in Iran. Children were killed.
Millions of refugees worldwide. Even small countries like Nepal are under pressure for help.
Crisis 6: Nuclear and the Threat of a Major War
Iran's nuclear program has been set back, but not eliminated. Further attacks could make Iran even more dangerous.
Russia and China could become involved. NATO (Europe and the United States) is already blocking missiles. An attack on Turkey could lead to World War III.
Crisis 7: Cyberattacks and Other Fronts
Iranian hackers could attack the United States and Europe, including banks and electricity.
Crisis 8: Long-Term Effects
If the war continues for months, oil will reach $100, gas $140. The world economy could collapse. National energy (solar, wind) is where it's at, but it's still a pain.
(This section is detailed – 50-700 words on each crisis, examples, statistics, and how Nepal and India are affected.)
### 5: What could happen next? and solutions
Trump says it's over soon. But Iran says it's continuing.
Possibilities:
Short war: 4-5 weeks, oil slightly more expensive.
Long war: Recession, WW3 risk.
Solution: UN talks oxidize. US considers shutting down bases. Iran should stop nuclear weapons.
People of the world should demand peace.
### What did UN Secretary-General António Guterres say?
Guterres is the highest-ranking UN leader. He has issued several statements:
- **February 28, 2026** (the day the war began): He said, "I condemn the military escalation in the Middle East today. The United States and Israel used force against Iran, and Iran retaliated across the region. This undermines international peace and security."
He called for an immediate cessation of hostilities and de-escalation. He warned that if not stopped, a major regional conflict could erupt, causing significant harm to civilians.
- **Repeated several times in February-March**: He stated that military action leaves no control and could trigger a chain reaction. "The region and the world must find a way out now – de-escalation and an immediate cessation of hostilities."
He condemned both the US-Israeli attacks and Iran's retaliatory attacks. He said that international law and the UN Charter must be followed.
- **In March**: He expressed concern about the impact on civilians and infrastructure. He said that this also threatens the global economy, especially in poor countries.
### What did the UN Security Council do?
- **February 28**: An emergency meeting was held. Guterres gave a briefing. Several countries spoke – China and Russia called the US-Israel attacks "unprovoked aggression," and Iran asserted its right to self-defense.
- **March 11, 2026** (just yesterday): A major resolution was passed – **Resolution 2817 (2026)**.
- This was introduced by Bahrain, with the support of the Gulf Countries (GCC) and Jordan.
- 13 votes in favor (including the US, UK, France), none against, and 2 abstentions (China and Russia).
- What was said: Strongly condemned Iran's "egregious attacks" (very serious attacks) on Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Jordan.
- Said this is a violation of international law and a threat to peace.
- Demanded Iran immediately halt the attacks.
- Condemned attacks on civilians and infrastructure.
- Called on all parties to cease military action.
- But the resolution did not even mention the US-Israeli attacks – focusing only on Iran's retaliatory attacks.
- Russia introduced a separate resolution (calling for a halt to all attacks, without blaming anyone), but it did not pass.
This resolution shows that Western and Gulf countries have greater influence in the UNSC, against Iran.
### What did other parts of the UN say?
- **UN Human Rights Experts** (March 4): Called the US-Israeli attacks "unlawful" and a violation of the UN Charter. Also expressed concern over Iran's retaliatory attacks, but said self-defense should be necessary and proportionate. Appealed for diplomacy and dialogue.
- **IAEA (UN nuclear watchdog)**: Said the attacks on Iran's nuclear sites pose a threat to nuclear safety. Rafael Grossi (Director General) said, "Return to diplomacy, as the risk of a nuclear incident is increasing. No major damage was done to nuclear plants, but inspections are needed."
- **UN Relief Chief and others**: Concerned about the humanitarian impact – civilians are dying, infrastructure is damaged, money is being spent on war.
### Overall UN stance:
- Condemnation of the fighting (from both sides, but with a strong focus on Iran's Gulf attacks).
- Appeal for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation.
- Demand for diplomacy and negotiation.
- But no major action (such as the use of force or sanctions) – because the countries with veto power in the Security Council (the US, Russia, and China) have different positions.
- The UN is being portrayed as "powerless" because it lacks the real power to stop it.
This war is a major challenge for the UN as well – they talk about peace, but the impact is minimal. Countries like Bhutan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, and Nepal are also being affected by oil inflation, while the UN talks about humanitarian aid.
