The operation reflects the government’s continued focus on tackling drug-related activities. Enforcement agencies remain actively engaged in statewide action.

Bhagwant Mann: 101 drug smugglers arrested across Punjab

According to official data, Punjab Police arrested 101 drug smugglers during the latest crackdown. Raids were conducted at several locations as part of coordinated efforts.

Officials stated that such operations are being carried out regularly. The aim is to curb the supply and distribution of narcotics.

Recovery of drugs and cash during operations

During the raids, police recovered 265 grams of heroin, 2 kilograms of opium, and 581 intoxicant tablets and capsules. In addition, ₹10.54 lakh in drug money was seized.

These recoveries indicate the scale of illegal activities being targeted. Authorities are continuing investigations in related cases.

Focus on de-addiction and rehabilitation

Apart from enforcement, the campaign also focuses on rehabilitation. On Day 401, 17 individuals were persuaded to undergo de-addiction and rehabilitation treatment. Officials emphasized the importance of a balanced approach. The strategy includes both strict action against smugglers and support for those affected by addiction.

Over 57,000 smugglers arrested so far

Cumulative data from the campaign shows that a total of 57,321 drug smugglers have been arrested in 401 days. This highlights the scale and continuity of the anti-drug initiative. The figures underline the sustained efforts of Punjab Police. The campaign remains one of the key priorities of the state government.

Statewide efforts to curb drug menace

The anti-drug drive continues to be implemented across all districts of Punjab. Authorities are using intelligence-based operations and coordinated raids to strengthen enforcement. The government has reiterated its commitment to making Punjab drug-free. Ongoing efforts aim to ensure long-term impact on public health and safety.

Public cooperation encouraged

Officials have also urged citizens to support the campaign by sharing information about illegal activities. Community participation is seen as crucial in addressing the issue. The initiative combines law enforcement with awareness. It aims to create a safer environment for the people of Punjab.

Pawan Khera: Congress leader Pawan Khera has allegedly fled to Hyderabad, according to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. This was after Assam Police went to nab Khera after he purportedly submitted fake documents to allege that the Assam CM’s wife, Riniki Bhuyan Sarma, had three passports.

After Khera’s allegations, Rininki filed a FIR against the Congress leader for forgery and related charges, prompting Assam Police to intervene. The case has been registered with Assam Police’s Crime Branch. DCP Crime Debojit Nath confirmed that Khera has been booked under forgery and associated charges.

Pawan Khera And Bogus Allegations

In a social media post on X, Khera alleged that Rinika had three passports to her name.

According to media reports, a team from Assam Police reached Delhi and contacted Delhi Police after arrival. Upon Assam Police’s request, Delhi Police joined and assisted in the proceedings. Khera also alleged that the Sarma family has several properties in their names in the UAE and a company that is registered in the United States.

Interestingly, the controversy has erupted just 2 days before Assam Assembly Elections 2026 on April 9.

Social Media Reactions

Khera had alleged that the Assam CM’s wife holds a UAE Golden Card, an Antigua and Barbuda passport and an Egyptian passport. Khera also said that the Assam CM claims religious adherence publicly while his wife has two passports belonging to Islamic countries.

Tehseen Poonawala remarked that it’s not right to drag political fights to courts or personal family levels.

Minister Pijush Hazarika defending CM’s wife said the Congress party made a copy of an individual’s UAE golden passport.

Rajdeep Sardesai posted on X saying the Assam police has landed in Delhi to arrest Khera in a forgery case.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge remarked that the Congress party is not afraid of FIRs and truth should prevail.

Congress women’s wing president Alka Lamba urged the Election Commission of India, Police, Home Ministry and Embassies to declare that these passports are fake and the party would accept.

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 19 After Rs 1000 Cr Glory, Ranveer Singh Starrer Plunges 65%

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 19: After ruling the box office for nearly three weeks, Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge is now showing signs of slowing down. Directed by Aditya Dhar and led by Ranveer Singh, the film recently crossed the huge Rs 1000 crore mark in India. However, the latest numbers suggest that its strong momentum may now be dipping.

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 19

As per Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 10 crore on Day 19, which is a sharp fall from Rs 28.75 crore on Day 18. This means a big 65% drop in just one day, showing that the film has entered a slower phase after a powerful run.

The sudden fall has grabbed attention from both trade experts and fans. While a drop on weekdays is normal after a strong weekend, a 65% fall is still considered quite steep.

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge Box Office Collection Day 19

DayIndia Net (Rs cr)
Day 0Rs 43.00 cr
Day 1 (1st Thursday)Rs 102.55 cr
Day 2 (1st Friday)Rs 80.72 cr

Day 18 (3rd Sunday)Rs 28.75 cr
Day 19 (3rd Monday)Rs 10.00 cr
Total India Net (Till Day 19)Rs 1,023.77 cr nett

Despite this dip, the overall box office performance of Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge remains very strong:

India Net: Rs 1,023.77 crore

India Gross: Rs 1,225.72 crore

Overseas: Rs 397 crore

Worldwide Total: Rs 1,622.72 crore

After this drop, the big question is whether Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge can still beat Pushpa 2 at the box office. Before that, the film is close to crossing Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (directed by SS Rajamouli and starring Prabhas), which has a benchmark of around Rs 1030 crore India net.

Trade experts believe that if the film remains stable during weekdays and grows again over the weekend, it can continue its strong run. However, if the current downward trend continues, beating Pushpa 2 could become difficult.

The Day 19 drop happened due to a few reasons:

Weekday slowdown after a strong weekend

Audience fatigue after three weeks

Lower occupancy, around 14% on Day 19

Still, many believe the film has enough strength to sustain a long run.

About The Film

Dhurandhar 2 The Revenge is a high-energy spy thriller. It follows an undercover agent, Jaskirat Singh Rangi, played by Ranveer Singh, who goes deep into a dangerous network in Karachi to stop a major terror operation.

The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi and Arjun Rampal in key roles. Known for its intense story and long runtime of nearly four hours, the film has kept audiences hooked since its release.

Released on March 19, 2026, during Eid and Gudi Padwa, the film has already crossed Rs 1600 crore worldwide. It is expected to stream on JioHotstar soon.

Artificial Intelligence: Game Over For Old Bureaucracy! Haryana Pushes For AI Bootcamp, Will It Reshape State’s Governance Forever?

Artificial Intelligence: Senior officials across universities, boards, departments and corporations have been urged by Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi to develop artificial intelligence (AI) skills via the iGOT Karmayogi platform.

Artificial Intelligence Initiative Of Haryana Government

The AI initiative of Haryana government is a push to modernize the old-age and often redundant governance ecosystem in the state via technology. This would also help in creating a more efficient, agile and citizen-focused administrative system by strengthening out-of-the-box digital capabilities among the workforce.

Developed under Mission Karmayogi, the iGOT Karmayogi portal offers self-paced, certified and free courses on artificial intelligence specifically for employees of public sector companies. Officials could complete these programs at their pace and convenience without impacting their daily work and responsibilities.

Choice Of Curated Courses

The employees are free to choose from a wide range of curated courses. This includes basic AI concepts, advanced governance applications and generative AI for public administration. These courses would equip officials with skills required to transform rural governance, education and urban development while accessing tools such as Microsoft Copilot.

The AI courses are provided in collaboration with reputed organizations like the National e-Governance Division, Wadhwani Foundation, Karmayogi Bharat, Invest India and Microsoft.

For decades, governance in almost every Indian state has been characterized by paper-heavy processes, hierarchical decision-making and reactive service delivery. Moreover, these systems are inefficient and characterized by high resistant to change or evolve. Introducing AI into the ecosystem would help in reprogramming how decisions are formulated, how data is analyzed and interpreted and how citizens interact with the state.

The iGOT Karmayogi model would help democratizes access to advanced skills across departments. This would help in the locus of innovation shifting from the top to the middle layers of administration. It would also help in ensuring that standardized, clean and interoperable datasets across departments remain an easy option that many governments and departments struggle with.

Prayagraj Metro: 60km Runway, 45 Stations And August Start Date On Cards! Would This Revolutionise Common Man’s Life?

Prayagraj Metro: The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has announced that the entire process of building Prayagraj metro tracks in the Sangam City would get started from August 2026. It was also announced that the metro would have 45 stations and a runway of 60 kilometres.

Prayagraj Metro-How Could This Revolutionise Common Man’s Life?

The much-awaited Prayagraj Metro would reshape the everyday commute of the common man in Allahabad while helping the city evolve economically. According to market analysts, the metro could transform emerging and established localities such as Jhusi, Bamrauli, Shantipuram and Cheoki.

A Structural Shift In Urban Mobility

Historically, the city has relied on a mix of auto-rickshaws, private vehicles, buses and cycle rickshaws. However, this system is often time-consuming, fragmented and vulnerable to congestion. The Prayagraj Metro system would introduce speed, reliability, affordability, efficiency and predictability into the city’s transport ecosystem.

For the common man, the metro system could reduce travel time significantly. For instance, the travelling time from Shantipuram to Cheoki or from Jhusi to Bamrauli that presently take approximately 45-60 minutes could be shortened to 20-30 minutes. This would not improve convenience, comfort and passenger safety but it would also translate to better work-life balance, productivity and reduced transportation costs over time.

Infrastructure projects of this magnitude could act as powerful catalysts for economic growth. For instance, it could help in the creation of thousands of direct as well as indirect jobs. Also, it could redefine real estate development in the city of Prayagraj.

Moreover, metro links between Jhusi, Bamrauli, Shantipuram and Cheoki could help in attracting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that benefit from lower land costs compared to central Prayagraj. It could also help these areas emerge as viable residential alternatives for middle-income families, driving demand for housing, retail and educational institutions.

Seema Haider Viral Video: ‘Har Hindu Ke Paas 2-3 Bachche Hone….’ Pakistani Turned Indian Bride Vocally Advocates Hindus to Have More Children, Says ‘Doosre Log 6-7….’

Seema Haider Viral Video: A claim going around on social media these days. This says Seema Haider, a Pakistani woman married to an Indian man, told Hindus to have “2–3 children” and compared it to “others having 6–7.” But there is no reliable or verified proof that she said that. The claim seems to be false, maybe because the information was changed or read wrong.

What Seema Haider is in the news for

In 2023, Seema Haider made news all over the country when she crossed the border from Nepal to India with her four children to be with Sachin Meena, whom she met while playing PUBG. When she got there, she changed her religion to Hinduism and married him. This made her story very popular on the internet and in the news.

Her travels across borders, her personal choices, and her legal problems have kept her in the news, and she has often been the subject of viral content.

What people say and what is real

A lot of videos about Seema Haider have gone viral over time, and some of them have been shown to be false. In one case, a video falsely showed her chanting slogans in favor of Pakistan, but fact-checks showed that the video had been edited and misrepresented.

The current claim that she made comments about comparing religions or populations is similar. There is no reliable news source or verified source that backs up these claims, which makes it likely that the story is either made up or exaggerated.

As of April 2026, Seema Haider still lives in Greater Noida. She is dealing with legal problems with her ex-husband and her children’s status. People have been paying even more attention to her because her lawyer, AP Singh, has been seen with her in public.

Even though the news has reported on it a lot, there is still no proof that the viral statement that is going around online is true.

Rajasthan News: State Proposes 7 Next-Gen Industrial Hubs Under BHAVYA Scheme! Will This Spark Massive Factory Boom?

Rajasthan News: Seven locations in the state of Rajasthan have been proposed for capitalizing on the Union Government’s BHAVYA (Building High-Impact Value Yards for Accelerated Development) scheme that is focused on the creation of next-generation industrial hubs.

Formulated by the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC), the scheme aims to develop more than 100 high-potential urban and industrial growth notes across India.

Rajasthan News-Locations At A Glance

Two vital nodes: Jodhpur-Pali-Marwar Industrial Area and Khushkhera-Bhiwadi-Neemrana Investment Region are already under different stages of the development phase.

According to media reports, the other locations could be Bhichoon (Jodhpur), Khankhala-Sahada (Bhilwara), Ganeshwar (Sikar) and Mahuwa Kalan/Soniyana (Bhilwara). The official confirmation for the location is presently awaiting the approval of NICDC.

A senior official of the Industries Department remarked that work has already seen the green light on the ground at the Jodhpur-Pali-Marwar Industrial Area via a joint venture with the NICDC Trust, reflecting the readiness of Rajasthan for translating policy into execution. The official also remarked that the presence of an established special purpose vehicles (SPVs) framework between NICDC and the state of Rajasthan strengthens institutional capacity, ensuring faster implementation timelines and smoother coordination.

The official also added that Rajasthan already has considerable land parcels in its possession. This would help in reducing the otherwise never-ending project gestation periods, which is a big factor in attracting investors.

Would this Trigger Industrial Boom and Youth Hiring?

The proposed 7 sites would promote industrial clustering, logistics integration and regional connectivity across the state of Rajasthan. Moreover, the state experienced powerful interest across logistics, manufacturing and allied sector, enhancing the growth and viability of the state’s proposed BHAVYA nodes. In addition to this, the development is likely to drive many domestic and international industrial units and businesses to the state, driving youth hiring and revenue to the northern state and India.

Chand Mera Dil Teaser: The teaser of Ananya Panday and Lakshya Lalwani starrer Chand Mera Dil is finally out. Released on Tuesday, the teaser offers a glimpse of an emotional, intense love story. The film is set to release in cinemas on May 22, 2026.

While fans liked the mood and visuals, the teaser has also faced criticism. Several users on social media are comparing it to YRF’s blockbuster romantic film Saiyaara.

What Chand Mera Dil Teaser Shows

Directed by Vivek Soni and produced by Karan Johar under Dharma Productions, Chand Mera Dil tells the story of Aarav and Chandni. The teaser shows them as college students dealing with love, heartbreak and growing up.

The film takes a simple and emotional approach instead of a glossy style. It shows how first love feels special at the beginning, but reality slowly changes things. The story hints that their relationship will face challenges, where love alone may not be enough.

The teaser also suggests a darker side to the story. It focuses on real emotions and struggles, making it feel more relatable.

Karan Johar shared the teaser on Instagram and wrote, “Not every first love gets a second chance. Come witness Aarav & Chandni’s road to love.”

Soon after the teaser was released, social media users started reacting. Many others criticised it for looking similar to other films.

Read some reactions below:

“Did they try to recreate Ahaan and Aneet’s bike scene?”

“Mixture of Saiyaara, Kabir Singh, Aashiqui 2.”

“Seems to be inspired by SAIYAARA.”

“U guys can copy Sairyarra, but what about the chemistry between the leads no one can recreate the natural chemistry of Ahaan and Aneet. They were so natural in the movie.”

“Saiyaara was a blockbuster not bcuz of the story but bcuz of Ahaan and Aneet’s natural chemistry, but u guys failed to create chemistry.”

“Saiyyara 2.0 is finally getting released guys.”

“Kissing boht zyada he.”

About The Film

Chand Mera Dil is a romantic drama that promises an emotional story. It stars Lakshya (who gained attention for his recent work Kill and Ba***ds of Bollywood) and Ananya Panday, who is looking for a strong comeback after her last film underperformed.

The film has been shot in different locations, including Hyderabad. It focuses on modern relationships and shows how love changes with time.

US Israel Iran War: Hormuz Blockade To Starve Billions, IMF Predicts Growth Crash! Would Your Wallet Face Total Wipeout?

US Israel Iran War

US Israel Iran War: The ongoing Middle East Crisis is soon going to hurt dinner tables and wallets across the globe. According to market analysts, the severe impact of the Iran war would be felt months after it comes to an end.

US Israel Iran War-How Would The Common Man Survive?

Food inflation, LPG shortage, weakening global currencies, acute shortage of basic essentials such as bread, rice, wheat and sugar are likely on the cards even for developed economies of the world and stable countries such as India. Moreover, supply chains across the globe would stay disrupted in 2026 and probably even in 2027 and 2028.

The shortage of fertilizers, ammonia, helium, feed for livestock, basic food supplies, petroleum products and key ingredients used in different food products would empty wallets across the globe. Farmers would be forced to reduce the number of crops planted or fertilizers used. Brent Crude and other petroleum products would be available in limited quantities at astonishingly higher prices. This, in turn, would further empty wallets of the common men across the globe.

Store-bought condiments, food products made with high fructose corn syrup and soft drinks would cost more. The supplies of staple crops such as rice, wheat and corn would be impacted the most as all of them require potassium, nitrogen and phosphate. To make things worse, the indefinite closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz has significantly reduced the supply of all three, increasing the cost of potassium, nitrogen and phosphate.

IMF Cuts Global Growth Outlook

Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of International Monetary Fund (IMF), has remarked that the ongoing Middle East Crisis would result in slower global growth, pushing inflation higher. IMF remarked that supply chains have been strained, Brent crude prices have reached to unprecedented highs and global oil supply has shrunk by 13-15 percent.

Recently, damages to 72 energy facilities were reported by International Energy Agency out of which 1/3rd have suffered massive destruction.

Decoding the Artemis II Live Feed: How Orion’s Position, Speed and Homeward Arc Are Tracked Moment by Moment, Check

Artemis- II
Google

NASA’s Artemis II mission is happening in deep space, but millions of people on Earth are also following it in real time. The Orion spacecraft is the main focus of this digital experience. Its position, speed, and trajectory are constantly monitored by advanced telemetry systems and displayed on tools like the NASA Artemis Real-time Orbit Website (AROW).

How Real-Time Tracking Works

Orion has a network of sensors on board that always check its speed, position, and orientation. NASA’s ground stations receive this data via radio signals and send it to Mission Control. From there, platforms like AROW turn raw telemetry into easy-to-read graphics, such as interactive maps, trajectory lines, and mission timelines.

These systems work almost like a “space GPS,” showing where Orion is in the Earth-Moon system. Key metrics like the distance from Earth, the distance to the Moon, and the mission elapsed time (MET) are updated almost in real time.

Speed and Position: Moving Numbers

At the beginning of the mission, especially after trans-lunar injection, Orion speeds up quickly, reaching speeds of more than 3,700 mph. As it gets farther away from Earth, often more than 100,000 miles, its speed slowly stabilizes because of the pull of gravity.

These changes are shown in real time by live trackers. Users can see Orion’s path moving away from Earth, with the speed and distance changing every second. 

The Homeward Arc: A Return Driven by Gravity

The “free-return trajectory” of Artemis II is one of the most interesting things about it. After going around the far side of the Moon, Orion naturally curves back toward Earth. This is mostly because of the Moon’s gravity, not because it uses a lot of fuel.

AROW and other similar tools make this beautiful arc clear by showing the outbound leg, lunar flyby, and return path as a smooth curve.

8th Pay Commission: 61% DA Announcement On Cards By April 20? Will Country’s Central Govt Employees And Pensioners’ Wait Finally End?

8th Pay Commission: Central government employees and pensioners who have been waiting endlessly for the 8th Pay Commission may finally have some good news on the cards! The Union Government is likely to announce an increase in dearness allowance (DA) that would be effective from January 1, 2026. This means that all eligible central government employees as well as pensioners would receive arrears for previous months (January to March).

8th Pay Commission Update

According to several media reports, the Union Government is likely to increase the DA by 3 percent, making it 61 percent from the existing 58 percent. In October 2025, the dearness allowance was increased to 58 percent from 55, effective July 1, 2025.

How Much Would Your Salary Increase?

The calculation of dearness allowance is based on the basic salary of an employee. For instance, if your basic salary is Rs. 40,000 then at the current 58 percent DA, you would receive Rs. 23,200. However, at 61 percent DA, the amount would increase to Rs. 24,400.

  This means an increase of Rs. 1200 every month. Moreover, arrears for 3 months would be added, making the amount to Rs. 3600 that may be received with April salary. Interestingly, you should remember that the amount of transport allowance and gratuity received also increase with an increase in dearness allowance.

The DA hike would benefit about 6.8 million pensioners and 4.9 million central government employees. It is widely believed that the 8th Pay Commission would likely get implemented by mid-2027 or early-2028. However, many believe that the government may push the implementation date to 2029 (the year of general elections in India). This would help the Union Government make a better push to millions of central government employees and pensioners in the country.

As of now, the biggest relief for about 6.8 million pensioners and 4.9 million central government employees is the news of a likely increase in DA amount.

Bhooth Bangla Producer Ektaa Kapoor’s Big Claim About Akshay Kumar

At the trailer launch, Ektaa Kapoor said she had been waiting to work with Akshay Kumar for a long time. While talking about him, she shared an unusual incident from her career.

She said, “I have wanted to work with Akshay sir for many years now. One thing many people don’t know is that he’s the only actor who called me up…our first film didn’t do well. He gave me a cheque and said this is money back for you…you’ve lost money.”

She revealed how she was shocked by his gesture. Ekta shared, “I was in shock. Koi nai karta. Mere 31 years mai, kisine nai kari. (Nobody does it. Nobody has done it in 31 years of my career). And to give it so casually…I said no. Please do another film with me. I’ll earn a lot more from that. That film finally happened.”

Ektaa did not name the film, but they had earlier worked together on Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara! (2013).

Check out the video below

Netizens React, Say ‘Feels Like Fake Story’

Soon after her statement went viral, social media users started reacting. Many people found the claim hard to believe and questioned if it was true.

Reacting to Ektaa’s statement, a user wrote, “Jhooti, he is a cutthroat professional.” Another commented, “Is movie ka bhi cheque waapas le lo.”

A third user said, “She is saying that so if this film also flops, then he should give it back.”

One more quipped, “Akshay toh kabhi nahi dega check wapis.”

About Bhooth Bangla

Bhooth Bangla is a horror-comedy that brings back Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after 14 years. The film follows Arjun Acharya, played by Akshay, who inherits an old palace in a small town. He plans to host his sister’s wedding there to solve financial problems.

However, things take a dark turn when he discovers the palace is haunted by a dangerous supernatural force linked to black magic and mythology.

The film combines horror with comedy, a style the duo is known for. It also features a strong cast, including Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi and Asrani. Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films, Bhooth Bangla is set to release in cinemas on April 17 (paid previews on April 16).

Campbell Wilson Leaves Amid Mounting Pressures on Air India, His Legacy Explored

Campbell- Wilson
Google

The aviation industry and passengers are both interested in Campbell Wilson’s recent departure from Air India. He made big changes during his time in office, but it looks like he left because of rising operational and financial pressures.

A Transformational Yet Challenging Tenure

When Wilson took over, Tata Group was in charge of Air India, which was going through a big change. He worked on making the airline more modern, making the customer experience better, and adding more international routes. His goal as a leader was to bring Air India’s global reputation back by improving the interiors of its planes and making its services more efficient.

But the journey of change was not easy. The airline had to deal with problems from the past, like old systems, staff restructuring, and tough competition from global carriers. These problems made things take longer and put more pressure on leaders.

Mounting Pressures Behind the Exit

There were a lot of things that made things harder for Wilson. Problems with operations, complaints about service, and financial stress made things difficult that needed to be fixed right away. It was also hard and time-consuming to combine Air India with other Tata aviation businesses.

Experts in the field think that Wilson worked hard, but the changes needed more time and stability.

What Is Campbell Wilson’s Legacy?

Wilson leaves behind a base for long-term growth, even though it was hard. His efforts to modernize the fleet, rebuild the brand, and expand globally have laid the groundwork for future progress.

People may remember his time in office as a key turning point that started the process of turning Air India into a competitive global airline.

What’s Next for Air India After Campbell Wilson Steps Down

With leadership change, Air India is expected to continue its transformation journey. The focus will likely remain on improving service quality, expanding routes, and strengthening its position in the global aviation market.

For passengers and industry watchers, the story of Air India is far from over—it’s only entering a new chapter.

Donald Trump: United States President Donald Trump has threatened to take out the Islamic Republic of Iran is less than 4 hours if it doesn’t mend its ways quickly. The US President has given Tehran a deadline of April 7 20:00 Washington DC time or 00:00 GMT Wednesday.

Donald Trump-Peace Deal And Threats Together?

In what is seen by many as a never-before rhetoric, Trump has been issuing calls for peace and using abusive language while giving open threats to the Iranian leadership. Meanwhile, Iran has rejected all ceasefire and peace proposals by USA. It has instead called for a permanent end to the Middle East crisis and lifting of all sanctions on the West Asian nation.

In a stern warning to Iran, Trump said that the United States would not hesitate to launch massive attacks on Iran’s transportation and energy infrastructure if the strategic Strait of Hormuz is not reopened unconditionally by the Iranian leadership by Tuesday deadline.

Markets Crash, Brent Crude Surge

Global markets crashed after Trump reiterated his decision to attack Iran if a peace deal is not reached before his stipulated deadline. Sensex fell over 40 points while Nifty went down to 22850. On the other hand, the US West Texas Intermediate contract for May went up 0.78 percent to reach $112.41 a barrel. In contrast, international benchmark Brent Crude prices surged 0.68 percent to reach $109.77 a barrel.

Since the war started on February 28, Iran has closed the Hormuz Strait that connects the world markets to the Persian Gulf. Interestingly, approximately 20 percent of the world’s supplies pass via the Strait before the war started. Its closure has triggered the largest disruption of oil supply in history. Jet fuel, crude, gasoline and diesel prices have surged dramatically since the Iran war started. Several market analysts have expressed concerns that oil prices across the world would not come down to the same levels before the war, even if the war is stopped now.
