This time, it was a chilling statement from Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, as reported by Bloomberg Business, that rattled me. Amirabdollahian left no room for doubt, declaring, “The U.S. is running the war, managing it, and this is a proxy war.”
His words spiked my cortisol levels, reigniting a genuine concern, not irrational fear, about the looming specter of World War III.
This unease is compounded as the violent Middle East conflict drones on, leaving outsiders (like me!) with little to no power to mitigate the tensions or arrive at a solution.
