The US has released satellite pictures claiming that Iran is behind the attack on Saudi Arabia's major oil bases.
Apart from satellite photos, America has also claimed to have intelligence in this regard.
Iran has categorically denied any involvement in the airstrikes on Saudi oil bases on Saturday. The Iran-backed Houthi rebels of Yemen were previously believed to be responsible for this attack.
After this attack, there has been a decrease of five percent in the world oil supply and a significant increase in the prices of petroleum oil.
What is America saying?
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Iran of this attack last week without any evidence.
After this, on Sunday, US President Donald Trump tweeted in which he did not name Iran but said that military action will be taken against the attacker.
US officials are secretly speaking with the New York Times, ABC and Reuters.
An official has told the media that this attack has taken place from the western-north-western direction, this is not the area of Houthi rebels in Yemen. The Houthi-controlled area is located in the southwest of Saudi oil bases.
The New York Times newspaper quoted US officials as saying that both drones and cruise missiles were deployed for the attack, but not all of them were able to target Aqiq and Khoras oil targets.
ABC has quoted a senior US official as saying that Trump is fully aware of Iran’s hand behind the attack.
Effect on the oil market?
Petroleum oil prices are increasing. This is the first time since the Gulf War of 1991 when the price of petroleum oil has seen such a huge increase in just one day – the price of crude oil has risen by 10 percent to $ 66.28 per barrel.
However, when the US President has ordered the release of the US Reserve, there has been a slight decrease in prices.
But it is feared that if the tension increases, the prices of petroleum oil will also increase. BBC Business Correspondent Katie Prescott said it would be too early to make any kind of prediction about the impact on oil prices.
What has been Iran’s reaction?
There has been no response from Iran so far on the latest US allegations.
But Iran’s Foreign Minister Jawad Zarif had tweeted on Sunday that when US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo failed to formulate a strategy of maximum pressure, he is adopting a strategy of maximum defection.
The Trump administration’s stated policy is to create ‘maximum pressure’ on Iran. The US has adopted this policy after Iran’s nuclear programs broke from the international agreement.
In a shocking development, YouTuber Praneeth Hanumanthu has become embroiled in controversy following his detention by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. Initially arrested for making offensive remarks during a podcast, Hanumanthu's predicament has escalated, resulting in further allegations under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after he tested positive for cannabis consumption. The Context of the Detention The origins of Hanumanthu's difficulties can be linked to a podcast he hosted, which included a conversation that many considered highly unseemly. During this episode, he made inappropriate comments regarding the dynamics between a father and daughter, igniting outrage among viewers and critics alike. This incident quickly garnered the attention of both the public and law enforcement, prompting an investigation by the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. The primary allegation centered around his remarks, which were deemed to have crossed the boundaries of acceptable discourse. This scenario raises broader inquiries about accountability and the duties of content creators, particularly in an era where online platforms can amplify messages to a large audience. As a public figure, Hanumanthu's statements carry substantial weight, and the backlash he has encountered signifies society's increasing intolerance towards harmful rhetoric. Charges Related to Substances Things took a turn for the worse for Hanumanthu when, following his arrest, authorities opted to perform a drug test. The results confirmed the presence of cannabis in his system, leading to additional allegations under the NDPS Act. This legislation is a strict law in India aimed at combating substance abuse and trafficking. By testing positive for drug use, Hanumanthu not only worsened his legal troubles but also further tarnished his reputation. The addition of drug-related charges initiates an important discourse about the effects of substance use among influencers and celebrities. Many young individuals look up to figures like Hanumanthu, and such disclosures can have significant consequences on their perceptions and behaviors. The fallout from his actions extends beyond legal issues; it also encompasses the ethical obligations that accompany public visibility. Reactions from the Public and Consequences The public’s reaction to Hanumanthu's arrest has been varied. Many viewers voiced their outrage over both his initial remarks and his later substance use. Social media has been inundated with discussions, memes, and criticisms, illustrating the swift spread of information and opinions in today’s digital environment. Critics contend that individuals like Hanumanthu should be held accountable for their influence, particularly when it concerns endorsing a healthy lifestyle and responsible behavior. On the other hand, some supporters have rallied behind him, advocating for the necessity of empathy and understanding. They highlight the pressures that accompany being a public figure, especially in a hyper-connected world where every action is scrutinized. This divide in public sentiment mirrors a broader societal conversation about celebrity culture, accountability, and the intricacies of mental health and substance use. The Wider Picture of Substance Abuse Hanumanthu's situation is also part of a larger discourse regarding drug abuse in India, especially among the youth. As discussions about mental health and substance use become more widespread, incidents like this underscore the pressing need for awareness and education about addiction and its root causes. The stigma surrounding drug use often hampers open dialogue about the topic, leaving many to endure in silence. Moreover, the legal implications of the NDPS Act spark questions about how society addresses drug-related offenses. While the act aims to deter substance abuse, critics argue that such laws can disproportionately impact certain demographics and do not tackle the underlying causes of addiction. Conversations around harm reduction, rehabilitation, and public health strategies are increasingly relevant within the framework of these laws. Prospects Ahead for Hanumanthu As Hanumanthu navigates the forthcoming legal hurdles, his future remains unpredictable. He faces possible legal repercussions for both his unsatisfactory comments and his substance use, which could greatly affect his career and personal life. The scenario serves as a cautionary example for content creators about the consequences of their expressions and actions, highlighting the need for thoughtful engagement with their audience.…
