Breaking! Iran's core high-ranking official killed in attack, full-scale war in the Middle East, oil prices over 100!
On the early morning of March 18th local time, a news that could rewrite the global landscape ignited international public opinion: Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, was killed in Israel's precision airstrike on Tehran.
This is not an ordinary military conflict, but a decapitation operation targeting the core leadership of a country.
As one of the most crucial decision-makers under Iran's supreme leader, Larijani was seen as the second in command of Iran during the war, overseeing national security, diplomacy, military, and nuclear affairs. This attack directly hit the core of Iranian power and completely ignited the powder keg in the Middle East.
After the incident, Iranian officials quickly spoke out, vowing tough retaliation. Subsequently, multiple rounds of missile attacks landed: Israel, US military bases in the Middle East, and important energy facilities in the United Arab Emirates were successively attacked, and the war escalated rapidly from regional confrontation to full-scale conflict.
The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has suddenly become tense, and the global energy supply chain has sounded the highest level alarm.
International oil prices skyrocketed in response, with Brent crude oil breaking through $100 per barrel, reaching a recent high. The rise in oil prices will directly transmit to various fields such as shipping, logistics, chemical industry, and consumer goods.
The United Nations has issued a stern warning: if the conflict continues to escalate, tens of millions of people worldwide may face food insecurity this year, and global inflationary pressures may rise again, potentially leading to an increase in the cost of living for everyone.
The United States is also deeply involved, using heavy weapons to strike Iranian military targets and relaxing sanctions on other oil producing countries in an attempt to stabilize oil prices, but still unable to quell market panic.
From geopolitics to financial markets, from the energy landscape to the lives of ordinary people, this event is triggering a chain reaction shock wave.
The already turbulent land of the Middle East is now once again on the brink of full-scale war.
How will the situation evolve in the next few days? What scale of retaliation will Iran take? Will oil prices continue to rise? What kind of pressure will the global economy face again?
Everything is full of unknowns, but what is certain is that this day has profoundly influenced the direction of the world in 2026.
For us who are on the front line of cross-border logistics and international trade, every turbulence in the world is a heavy blow to our business. Pay attention to the situation and respect the market. May the situation cool down as soon as possible, and may all colleagues and partners: goods reach the world, peace and smoothness.
