Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Monday raised the issue in the Upper House of the Parliament on how the crisis in West Asia has created a global fuel shortage.

He further stated that the smoke is now reaching even India. States like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Punjab are particularly bearing the brunt of the situation. Stressing the need to bring together a team of environmental experts, he said that a group of environmental experts should be formed as early as possible to study the impact of this smoke on India.

He also stated that India should strongly urge the international community to stop this war. He said that smoke rising from the repeated attacks in Iran contains many toxic gases. The situation is such in the country that it is difficult for Iranians to breathe. The World Health Organisation has warned that the smoke blanketing the skies can be fatal.

Donald Trump’s ‘big day’ post

US President Donald Trump announced on Monday (March 30) that the military has taken out ‘many long-sought-after targets’ in Iran. The announcement was made on his social media platform Truth Social.

He wrote, “Big day in Iran. Many long-sought-after targets have been taken out and destroyed by our GREAT MILITARY, the finest and most lethal in the World. God bless you all!”

The move comes shortly after Trump said the war against Iran has achieved regime change. “We’ve had regime change. We’re dealing with different people than anybody has dealt with before. It’s a whole different group of people. So I would consider that regime change.”

Iran-Israel war

The war broke out on February 28 when the joint forces of Israel and America attacked Iran. During the initial days, the Israeli missiles claimed the life of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, among other senior leaders. This led to Iran launching several missile and drone attacks on Israel.

So far, more than 1,900 people have been killed, with more than 24,000 injured in the war. Meanwhile, 19 people in Israel have been killed during the Iranian missile attacks.
