Coming Wars in New World Known Before

Uncertainty is the most certain feature of the New World. Much of the world trade is stalled today because no nation is certain of the tariffs that are applied.

Friends appear foes and foes are wooed with respect. Pacts are forgotten or don’t matter. But it is not so with wars or attacks with deadly missiles.

Wars can be predicted in the world today, unlike the Ukraine-Russia war or the Hamas-Israel war which started in the past.

Like the US tariffs war started on 2nd April, on a date known before, war dates too can be guessed in advance.

Israel attacked Iran with missiles as per a schedule -- at the end of a 60-day ultimatum US President Donald Trump gave to Iran to conclude a deal about its nuclear capabilities.

Iran failed to respond within the stipulated period, and the Israel attack on Iran followed. Mr Trump posted on X: “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to “make a deal.” They should have done it!”

“Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance,” the US President said.

At the centre of the New World, the United States continues to indicate coming events -- when a tariffs offensive may begin or when a missile attack may be coming.

Wars in the New World are predictable and they are scheduled accurately, quite unlike the resolution of conflicts. European countries openly talk Russia might attack them in the coming years.

The Ukraine-Russia war goes on -- now overshadowed by the Israel-Iran flare-up -- in spite of thousands of deaths of soldiers every week.

It is already four days of the Israel-Iran war, entering the fifth day, with casualties on both sides. People are trying to leave Iran’s densely populated Capital city Tehran.

The US President advised people to evacuate from Tehran, as he left the G7 Summit at Kananaskis in Alberta, Canada midway on Monday night due to the Middle East crisis worsening.

Wars overshadow all world discussions on financial or trade issues. The G7 nations beginning their annual conclave in Kananaskis issued a joint statement on the Israel-Iran War.

“We, the leaders of the G7, reiterate our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. In this context, we affirm that Israel has a right to defend itself. We reiterate our support for the security of Israel,” the leaders said.

The G7 said “We also affirm the importance of the protection of civilians. Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.”

“We urge that the resolution of the Iranian crisis leads to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza,” the G7 hoped.

The G7 said “We will remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.”

Besides the US, the G7 includes France, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada. The European Union (EU) attends the G7 Summits but does not host them like the individual members.

Just as the Israel missiles landed on Iran, Mr Trump posted a warning to Iran on X: “The US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran, tonight.”

But he warned “If we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before. However, we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict.”

Meeting media persons along with G7 host Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney, the US President said Iran should have talked. He said “They have to make a deal. Iran is not winning this war.”

Mr Trump said Iran should talk immediately before it is too late. “We have always supported Israel,” he said.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio too posted on X on the 12th June night: “Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.”

“Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense. President Trump and the Administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces and remain in close contact with our regional partners,” Mr Rubio said.

In a clear warning to Iran, the US Secretary said “Let me be clear: Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel.”

In another post on 16th June, President Trump said “Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal, just like I got India and Pakistan to make, in that case by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion, and sanity into the talks with two excellent leaders who were able to quickly make a decision and STOP!”

The US President said he had stopped Serbia-Kosovo and Egypt-Ethiopia wars also. “Likewise, we will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place. I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that’s OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN,” he said.

Commenting on how wars have become a part of life today, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the media ahead of the the G7 Summit: “We are confronted with wars; wars we thought were consigned to history.”

As such, the current wars are likely to be discussed at the gathering of economic powers of the world, she said. The current G7 Summit will be defined by geo-economics and geo-politics at the same time.

The European Commission President said Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be joining the G7 leaders on Tuesday. He has shown willingness to agree to an unconditional ceasefire. Russian President Vladimir Putin on the other hand has escalated attacks on Ukraine, she said.

She suggested that to bring Russia to the negotiating table, the G7 should join the European Union in placing sanctions against Russia. President von der Leyen even proposed the G7 should give financial support to Ukraine.

Referring to the Israel-Iran war, she said “A diplomatic solution remains the best way in the long run to address concerns about Iran's nuclear programme. And Europe remains committed to finding a lasting solution through a negotiated deal.”

The European Commission leader said there were increasing inter-linkages between the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East.

“Today the same type of Iranian designed and made drones and ballistic missiles are indiscriminately hitting cities in Ukraine and Israel. As such, these threats need to be addressed together,” she said.
