Why a volatile Strait of Hormuz could choke global LNG supply.

What’s interesting here is that food risk is not just about harvests or geopolitics

it can start from credit

When financing tightens, exporters lose flexibility
they produce less aggressively, store less, ship less

So supply doesn’t disappear
it just becomes slower and less responsive

For countries like India, that matters a lot

because even small disruptions can turn into bigger price moves

I broke this down here

We all know that the old global order has collapsed(Due to Trump and rising global tensions)

And the institutions based on those old global order are losing their power like international bodies UNO , UNGA and many other organisations of UN......And are basically toothless in today's conflicts and wars .

But, In the old world order the most powerful international body which was the UNSC. Which used to hold immense power and decision making process back in the old global order.

So my question is that "Does that UNSC still holds some importance and power today or basically it has also became useless just like me in the today's world"

he National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested seven foreign nationals — six Ukrainian nationals and one from the United States — on charges of conspiring to carry out terrorist activities against India.

“From there, they crossed into Myanmar, where they reportedly met ethnic groups hostile to India. Investigations also uncovered that multiple consignments of drones from Europe were delivered by them in Mizoram,” the source said.

The suspects were brought to Delhi and produced before the duty Magistrate on Saturday, who remanded them in three days’ custody. The suspects were remanded again on Monday until March 27, an extension of 11 days.

The NIA has alleged that the group was plotting terror strikes, and their movements had raised alarm over cross-border threats.

“The aspects of collection of evidence, unearthing criminal conspiracy, identification of co-accused persons and analysis of mobile data of accused persons, are such that police custody of accused persons is justified,” Additional Sessions Judge Prashant Sharma of Patiala House Court said in his order.

According to the NIA, the accused were involved in illegally “importing huge consignments of drones from Europe to Myanmar via India” for the use of “Ethnic armed groups”. These groups were allegedly also supporting some proscribed “Indian Insurgent Groups by way of supplying weapons and other terrorist hardware and training them”.

The NIA, which was represented by SPP Rahul Tyagi, PP Anil Dabas, and advocates Jatin and Amit Rohilla, sought the remand of the accused persons to “collect more evidence to unearth the overall conspiracy of the present case hatched by the accused persons and their accomplices”.

They also submitted before the court that they wanted to “unearth the route opted” by the accused persons. The custody was also sought to analyse the mobile data to ascertain the alleged source of funding.

The NIA also submitted that it wanted to “apprehend the close unknown associates still at large who are likely to surface after technical analysis of the social media accounts”.

I was reading masters union newsletter came across an interesting comment from IATA director general Willie Walsh recently. he said the charges airlines pay at Indian airports are among the highest he’s seen anywhere globally.

made me wonder how that affects the aviation ecosystem here, higher airline costs usually mean more expensive tickets for passengers or slower expansion for airlines. at the same time, india is one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world.

kind of curious how both things can exist at the same time. do high airport fees slow down growth… or is demand in india strong enough that it doesn’t matter?

Can anyone tell why india isn't buying oil from iran through shadow fleets just like china brought million of barrels of oil after the outbreak of iran war through their network of shadow fleets.

But instead we are buying oil from other countries like russia, canada who are charging us a premium of about 4 to 5 dollars on per barrel oil which had already touched 100 dollar price mark.

This is damaging our foreign currency reserve in a situation where already all the FIIs are running out of market and our trade deficit is increasing massively. If this trend continues, The rupee will fall harder in a situation where we are already a import dependent country for energy, necessary high tech machineries and equipment for industries. If rupee fell more then the import of these necessary products which our country can't produce or isn't able to produce will become harder

I don't know what will happen but it seems like guys we are doomed.

Edit, those who saying usa would pressurize india:

That makes no logic, if the Usa really wanted to crush iran financially then how the F the Chinese shadow fleets were able to cross thousands of km of arbian sea and then to hormuz and to iran. If usa really cared about that issue then usa would have already ceased those shadow fleets in the arbian sea

And it seems like from the news headline, the trump is panicking about the rising crude oil prices and that's why they are not blocking shadow fleets of china from carrying iranian oil.

hello! i’m so sorry if this question is a bit dumb but i’m very confused about the current global scenario because i was never interested in politics in school and by the time college started, i just focused on current affairs as news and didn’t bother to read deeper into the global alliances and other dynamics.

with the global tensions rising and my graduation coming up, i was really hoping that someone could help me understand the trigger behind the recent global flare ups (not something general like trump has gone mad). like i’m aware of the long standing tensions between israel and iran, but i don’t understand why us is helping israel and why everything is happening now.

there’s so much happening globally in palestine, ukraine, iran, israel, etc. even the indian subcontinent has been facing waves like bangladesh and china going after arunachal, and kashmir tensions rising.

i’d appreciate any explanations or directions to subreddits/reliable news channels and historical archives where i can get verifiable information. thank you so much!
