Global tensions are rising fast as four major geopolitical flashpoints reshape the world order. In this episode of World News, Pankaj Mishra breaks down Iran’s warning over the Strait of Hormuz, Hezbollah’s refusal to disarm, China’s growing support for Cuba, and Beijing’s aggressive push to strengthen the yuan against the US dollar.
Iran has warned that any attempt to block or militarily challenge the Strait of Hormuz could trigger massive retaliation across the Middle East. Since nearly 20% of global oil passes through the strategic waterway, even limited conflict could send oil prices soaring worldwide.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has rejected all calls for disarmament, saying the group’s weapons are critical for Lebanon’s defense against Israel. The statement comes amid fears of a wider regional war linked to Gaza tensions.
China has also stepped into Cuba’s deepening crisis by sending thousands of tonnes of rice aid while criticizing US sanctions policy. At the same time, Beijing is strengthening the yuan to reduce global dependence on the US dollar and expand China’s economic influence.
