Russia is Reaping the Greatest Benefits from the War in the Middle East
The recent events in the Middle East are changing not only the regional but also the global geopolitical balance. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The leadership of the European Union is seriously concerned about the rise of unexpected powers in this conflict. Our site is conducting an in-depth analysis of the latest statements in international politics.
On Tuesday, European Council President António Costa spoke at a meeting held in Brussels about the new developments in the world. According to him, Russia is gaining the greatest benefit from the military operations conducted by the United States and Israel against Iran.
The question of how Moscow became the sole winner in this situation is on many people's minds. According to Costa, the war in the Middle East brings a twofold benefit to Russia.
First of all, the sharp rise in oil and gas prices is creating new sources of funding for the Kremlin to continue combat operations in Ukraine. The second aspect is that, as the world's community and military powers focus their main attention on the situation around Iran, the West's attention to the Ukrainian front is weakening.
The strategic Khorezm Strait's shipping has been severely damaged due to the war. During peacetime, twenty percent of the world's raw materials were transported through this route.
Although Western countries' sanctions aim to limit Russia's revenues, the current rise in oil prices is almost nullifying the effect of these measures. The European Council President clearly described the situation, saying that the international order remains under doubt.
According to him, Russia is disrupting peace, China is obstructing trade, and the USA is questioning the rules-based international system. Despite this problem, Costa emphasized the need to support the Iranian people but stated that freedom and human rights cannot be achieved solely through bombs.
US President Donald Trump claims that the war with Iran is progressing ahead of schedule and is almost over. In his opinion, Iran no longer has a communication system or air force.
The White House estimates that the war may continue for another four to six weeks. However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran responded sharply to this and said that the conditions on the battlefield and the final outcome are solely at Tehran's discretion.
We will continue to monitor how such sharp changes in world politics affect the international economy. In your opinion, the question of whether the European Union can maintain its position in this complex conflict remains unanswered.
