The report about the hospital being evacuated is heartbreaking 💔. Civilians always suffer the most in these conflicts. It's a stark reminder that war has no real winners. Our prayers are with all the innocent people caught in the middle.

From an Indian perspective, our primary concern has to be energy security and the safety of our diaspora in the Gulf region. The government needs to be proactive in evacuation plans if things escalate further. This conflict is too close for comfort.

The mention of Khamenei being prepared to negotiate is the most important line in this whole article. If there's a window for talks, the US and Israel should take it. Continuing this tit-for-tat bombing helps no one and risks a regional inferno.

Operation Roaring Lion... the name itself sounds so aggressive. While I stand with Israel's right to defend itself, hitting 50+ targets overnight, including a petrol station in Lebanon, seems like overreach. This isn't just defense anymore; it's becoming a widespread offensive campaign.

The economic implications are scary. We're already seeing inflation. If oil infrastructure is targeted and supply chains get choked, prepare for even higher petrol and commodity prices. The common man in India will bear the brunt of a war he didn't start. 🙏
