the power of resources

US President Donald Trump threatened to “blow up” the world’s largest gas field, a key Iranian asset, if Tehran keeps up its attacks on Qatar.

because of the crisis in middle east that doesn't look any near from stopping, the price of oil has hit higher again. i do not think any of the countries are willing to surrender. all has something to fight for. it will only be over when everything is said and done and by then, what would be the state of the world? i was thinking why usa has so much confidence and the answer is because while they will benefit from the oil in the middle east, they get most of their oil from canada. when you have the resources, you can really afford to start and sustain a war.

The whole war is about economic, security and geographical control and the US plus Israel and Iran definitely have some economic interest that is why all sides are not backing down in the war, alot of oil versel will be stuck in the sea without clearance and movement, US and Israel are aware of the strength and importance of that passage to the world energy market, Iran to hold that energy war strong because that is their own power share and holds, their beliefs that the world will force US and Israel from attacking them if the oil prices become unbearable.
Some analysts say that the price of crude could definitely go as high as $150 berel in the coming weeks as the war progresses into critical conditions for all sides.

The United States is indeed little dependent on oil from the Persian Gulf. Especially after they seized control of the Venezuelan oil. There is also the issue of gas, which is much more acute for the world, but equally unimportant for the United States. However, the most important resource, the petrodollar, is under threat here. If a country has no choice but to switch from paying for oil in dollars to paying in another currency (for example, yuan), then this will happen. What if there are many such countries? This would be a disaster for the very foundation of the United States' power, the petrodollar. Trump sees this danger.

After all, the attack on Iran was aimed at strengthening the petrodollar's position through physical control of oil. And it led to the opposite result - the risks of an alternative oil-yuan system.Of course, Trump can even sacrifice the Gulf oil and retreat, but he cannot sacrifice the petrodollar. In the meantime, that's exactly the trend. The threat of the destruction of the petrodollar monopoly has never been so great.

[Mhizlove]

In this kind of situation countries that have strong backup and resources I think they have more confidence but to be sincere even them are not immune because once the oil price raises everyone can still feel it one way or the other. And the tension in the middle east will last for long because none of them is willing to give up and with this kind of situation. At the end of the day, it's the ordinary people in different countries that will feel the real impact through economic pressure and cost of living

Unfortunately it seems that the USA military is now being kept in place and it's actions directly dictated by Israel. They were the first country to strike energy infrastructure like this on a large scale, everything else had been small attacks in comparison. As to be expected Iran then retaliated and now we are in a place where everyone's bills around the world are going to shoot up again. The richest countries will be able to absorb the costs the easiest, but it will be painful. The energy - like liquified natural gas - will simply stop being sent to places that paid a cheaper price for it before this whole war started. There doesn't seem like any attempt being made to back down by the instigators America and Israel, so this will only get more expensive for the average person as time goes on.

Donald Trump claimed that the US knows nothing about the attack on an Iranian offshore gasfield facility located in Bushehr province. It's hilarious that the sponsor of the war doesn't know what Israel is doing with the resources it gets. The US might have enough oil supplies to sustain it for as long as the world lasts. But they should know that the economy of their allies is destroyed. Many countries would have to renegotiate diplomatic agreements.

If this war continues, many people might begin to go through serious hardship that might lead to starvation and sickness. Several intelligence reports has shown that Iran was not increasing its nuclear weapons and they are not a threat to the US. Those who started the war should end it because I don't see Iran backing down.

[Zanab247]

There is no country in the world that will not do everything possible to protect their resources, they know that anything that will make their enemies to typer with their resources it will take the whole country many years before they can regain their resources back. Unless you are not following U.S president speech, because his speech is full  with words that can cause crisis that will make the both countries to lose what will cause long hardship in their country. If some governments know how many years it take them to established those resources, I don't think they will allow war to destroy those investment, because this is where nations are feeding from which it will be hard for U.S president to carry out such evil act.

As it stand now I don't think other countries of the world will support what is happening now, because is causing hardship that will take some citizens a long years before they will start experiencing deflation that will make both small and big to enjoy good economy other countries are enjoying.

when you have the resources, you can really afford to start and sustain a war.

That's what is making the US and Israel dizzy at the moment, Donald Trump miscalculated the war with Iran, they think the Middle East is the same as those they have previously attacked Iraq, Afghanistan and others, The US didn't think it would have a more severe impact like this on the global economy, miscalculation.

Donald Trump is too reckless and ambitious to destroy Iran, but instead the destruction will be felt globally, this will be more complicated than thought, the US thinks it can control its ambitions after Iran is destroyed, the fact is the opposite, what is even worse is that Iran does not want to negotiate with the US and Israel. This will become an endless war, Iran has concrete and complete resources, Iran cannot be compared to other Middle Eastern countries.

[AVE5]

when you have the resources, you can really afford to start and sustain a war.

Waging wars requires diplomatic strategies and techniques and source of funding will be very important and required that the supplies should be consistent just in case the war has to last for too long.
It's also not reasonable to start fights you can't finished other wise, when you gets weak the enemies will be glorified to beat you.
The United States President Donald Trump isn't afraid of the war despite the revolution of the economy ground because such a sustainable foundation to provide the necessities against the war had been made available. Moreover US has the largest world growing global economy and also had the highest military aids.

America is fighting this war for the benefit of Israel rather than for its own benefit from the Middle East. America is making Israel stronger. The situation in the region is such that neighboring countries will continue to engage in war with each other, but Israel and America will benefit the most from this war. Iran is attacking regions where US interests are, and those countries are blaming Iran instead of putting pressure on America and Israel to stop the war. The countries that export Middle Eastern oil to the world are facing supply shortages and the world economy is in extreme danger. The world community should take steps to stop the war very soon, otherwise nuclear weapons may soon be used which will be terrible for humanity.

Iran has little power to overcome or sustain this ongoing war for longer since the U.S is involved, all they have now is the power of oil of which if they aim to sustain the balance of the world economy, they have the keep the price of oil steady or even go below $100 and even make the strait of Hormuz open.
They intend to do that currently, but the issue is that they are facing U.s with their economic might by trying to cause a de-dollarization that will affect the U.s immensely and enable the Yuan to gain power over the dollar.

the energy prices has been increased day by day in the world and its not authentic point about Israel that they controls America. No doubt both countries has good relations and both are allies and America helps Israel in every field and mainly through military sides but its not means one country is controlled by other and actually both countries have their own interests and make descion according to there interest and benefits. Due to Iran and USA conflict whole world can face the energy crises because energy transfer tool as we know is Strait of Hormuz so when its disturb then energy shifting gateway is close. So when Hurmoze affected then the prices of crude oil increases and its caused the inflation in many countries which are dependent on this route for energy. And also fortunately LNG supply is not completely stuck but its affected and trade on high prices. And hopefully may diplomacy play its role to decrease the damage and regulate the prices with time.

what would be the state of the world?

We're like in a state that we would suffer, the poor, those who have enough, the middle class and only rich-rich people are going to not feel the impact of this war.

i was thinking why usa has so much confidence and the answer is because while they will benefit from the oil in the middle east, they get most of their oil from canada. when you have the resources, you can really afford to start and sustain a war.

Remember that they've obtained Venezuela. And that's why it won't be a problem to them and I think Trump has said that, oil is not of their concern because they've got a lot of supply.

But those who rely on the Persian Gulf oil, they are the countries that have to expect that $200/barrel of oil as Iran mentioned.

Yes, Iran is not the same as other countries in the middle east as you mentioned. Since being known as Persia, Iran has long been famous for being involved in major wars. Although the United States is superior in terms of military technological power, it does not mean that Iran will inevitably lose.

I think Iran has a different strategy, namely a non-frontal war, they often trick the United States with their strategy. Although American officials claim they are superior on the battlefield, Iran can still retaliate. And in the end, I think Iran will make the war last so long that it drains American resources.

The situation will become even more alarming if the conflict continues indefinitely. The costs incurred will amount to a staggering sum.
Surrendering would mean acknowledging another country’s victory, and that is nearly impossible under the current logic at play. Each leader is pursuing a strategy driven by personal ego because this involves the economy, and each country is defending what it must defend for the sake of security and national pride.

If resources are scarce, the economic future becomes increasingly chaotic. It is possible for one country to obtain resources from a country outside the conflict zone, but there are limitations, and in the concept of a secure world, sovereignty must be mutually supported regardless of other interests.

[Hamza2424]

The US is waiting for Iran to surrender, but Iran is saying they still have a lot of ammunition and can fight a long war. They are not letting US troops enter their land, and they are doing far better than the US expected. Even some of their people are resigning and telling the world how this war was not necessary and that the US took the wrong step for Israel. Well, that's something else, and how it is relevant is a whole new discussion, but they are in the oil business.

They are making money out of it, and not just them, but every other country is making money out of the oil they have or the deals they are making. The US is getting a lot of its oil from Venezuela now. Trump even suggested taking Venezuela as a US state, and if that happens, the lives of Venezuelans will change for sure, but this way the US will become more powerful.

Experiencing 45 years of sanctions imposed by US and Iran standing still without moving, prove that Iran are not affraid of US and they already prepared for long term battle. Beside that learning from history, US political intervension and support on the authoritarian regime in Iran, create anti US and anti western hegemony as Iran political identity since Ruhollah Khomeini. Shia thought reinforces the existing narrative of resistance against US hegemony. Iran regime maintain anti US narrative for domestic legitimation which can gather society and create common enemy, with this government can diver economic pressure and maintain political stability.

What make war will be long lasting because it is about rivality and two way conflict, Iran see US as great Satan and major supporter of Israel and US see Iran as threats to Middle East stability and sponsor of militant group. I also found many interesting narrative from many Moslem figure around the world in Social Media which claimed based on propet explanation that the escalation of conflict in the Middle East will continue to grow because the world are in the end times, and total battle between Israel and Moslem will be happened there. This belief that makes Israel even more blind because they can read the signals too of their own fall. The narrative of the end times and the promise of Israel's downfall strengthen the fighting spirit from anti Israel country which in the end resulting the total war and without surrender from Iran. But based on my president explanation, If Trump send army troops to Iran, it will make greater potential to overthrow the ruling regime than only air attack.

No US gets most of their Oil by attacking other countries, taking their oild by forces nothing else. Recently trump abduction the president of Venezuela which was the clear sign of missuse power and intervention of other country. Later he also claimed that he attacked for this reason.

They just impose sanctioned whoever they seems not going with their terms and condition it's a u written dictator ship

This only happens when either they have to fulfill their word with it, as Israel is doing with Iran, or they observe that they can take so much oil from here, or they can get it by completely waging war with it. An example of this is China and Taiwan. China has now imposed a very strict rule on Taiwan and has thrown a very tight net around it, which by accepting it, Taiwan will become a part of China again. In this case, Trump has done wrong and he takes unfair advantage of his position and his power and he also makes many accusations, including Bitcoin, which also has a lot of oil there. If it takes similar steps, it can create a problem for itself, as Iran has done now. Trump had picked up the Prime Minister of Venezuela, he has martyred the Prime Minister of Iran, there is no difference in these two stages.

The problem is even if a country have all the resource, the nature of the market like to hoard oil in this difficult time to prepare for the imminent price increase. So when the oil get to the retailer, the price still rise by several fold.
The demand increase more than in normal condition yet the supply around the world plummet, it's just a war thing I guess, but still affect us the average people. No war is definitely better even for the resourceful.
