‘Ramadan War’ Case/145; Impact of the War Against Iran in World Media 🔺Analytical platform The Conversation: Tehran has announced that the solid-fuel ballistic missile ‘Qasem Basir’ has the ability to ‘act against any threat, even before it is executed,’ and this missile has been used in recent tests against a US aircraft carrier. According to this analysis, Iran is no longer just responding to escalated tensions but is ‘increasingly trying to be the provocateur.’ 🔺CNN: Trump’s maritime blockade and economic pressure are pushing Iran towards military escalation. This network reported that Tehran, excluded from negotiations, is now attempting to compel Washington back to diplomacy by threatening to escalate the war and adopt new tactics. Mohsen Rezai, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, warned that “the economic war will be responded to by a maritime prohibited area across the Gulf,” and spoke of “a fundamental reconfiguration of operational status against US warships and bases.” 🔺Al Jazeera: The exercise ‘Dawn of Fajr 2.0,’ hosted by Israel’s military chief, was conducted in September 2026, aimed at testing the army's readiness for simultaneous war on seven fronts. In this exercise, scenarios such as armed infiltration, hostage-taking, missile attacks, and attacks on settlements and strategic targets were simulated. At the same time, a wide-scale exercise was held in Eilat and the Arava Valley, involving the army, police, navy, air force, and rescuers to examine the possibility of an attack from the Jordan border and maritime regions. 🔺Russia’s Kommersant: Brent crude oil prices have surged close to 2% to the threshold of 100 dollars amid rising tensions in the Middle East. The market is concerned about potential disruptions in oil supply, and analysts expect that restrictions on oil exports from the Gulf will last until the end of the year. The US State Department has also warned Iran about attempts to ‘extort the global economy’ by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. 🔺China Daily: Iran plans to establish a ‘prohibited area’ outside the Strait of Hormuz in the coming days and weeks. According to Mohsen Rezai, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, this area starts from the line of the US maritime blockade and extends towards the Strait of Hormuz and parts of the Gulf. Any vessel that attempts to pass through Hormuz within this zone will be sanctioned by Iran.
