PANews reported on March 30th that, according to Cailian Press, the US-Iran conflict has now lasted for a month. Last week, the US and Iran issued contradictory statements regarding whether to negotiate and the progress of such negotiations, causing confusion and escalating military tensions among the three warring parties. As the conflict continues, International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol recently warned that we are facing the most serious global energy security threat in history, with an impact even greater than the two oil crises of the 1970s combined. It is understood that the total number of US troops stationed in the Middle East has now exceeded 50,000, an increase of approximately 10,000 from normal levels. Iranian military sources indicate that Iran has mobilized over one million people to prepare for ground combat, with large numbers of young Iranians flocking to recruitment centers to apply for service.
