The rise in oil prices on the global market signals investors’ concern about geopolitical instability. The international community is watching the developments of this escalation with caution.

Sua’s on-air statement was emphatic, expressing complete loyalty to the country. “From this platform, I declare that I am ready to sacrifice my life for this country,” stated Mobina, underlining the gravity of the moment.
