Tensions in the Middle East are heating up again after the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran sparked global concerns.
President Donald Trump claims that the conflict with Iran will soon end after the United States and its allies are said to have succeeded in weakening Iran's military power.
Nevertheless, this situation has shaken global markets. World oil prices briefly surged past US$100 per barrel due to concerns about energy supply disruptions.
Tensions escalated after Iran warned that oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz could become targets of attacks.
It is important to note that about 20% of the world's oil supply passes through this strategic maritime route every day. If this route is disrupted, the impact could be felt worldwide, from spikes in energy prices to pressure on the global economy.
Will this conflict really end soon as Trump claims?
Or could it potentially trigger a new global energy crisis?
