Attacks on Iran's oil facilities could trigger global economic shock

On October 1, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles targeting Israel; according to Israeli statements, almost all missiles, except for one or two, were destroyed in the air. Meanwhile, Iran claims that 90 per cent of their missiles successfully hit their targets. There is some truth to Iran's statement; otherwise, Israel would not have been adding the US's most advanced missile defense system, Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), to its defenses. Israel's air defense system, Iron Dome, was considered impenetrable against enemy-fired missiles, rockets, or warplanes. In addition to Iron Dome, Israel has long been using the US Patriot missile system, but this was deemed insufficient, leading to the addition of THAAD.

Kamala-Trump poll race and the future of Bangladesh politics

Trump fired off a post on the recent situation in Bangladesh on the X handle on October 31. In this post, he condemned the 'brutal violence' on religious minorities in Bangladesh. He also commented that a chaotic situation is prevailing in Bangladesh at present. The most important comment is 'It would have never happened on my watch'. The literal meaning of Trump's statement is that if he had the power of the United States, such an incident would not have happened in Bangladesh. Through this speech, Trump clarified the direct role of the United States in the recent politics in Bangladesh. This statement of the former US president about the political situation in Bangladesh carries a different meaning.

Hunter Biden’s Conviction and the third world

Hunter Biden, the 54-year-old first son of US sitting President Joe Biden, has been found guilty on all three felony cases against him relating to buying a hand gun while being a user of cocaine as drug. The first two counts were for lying about his drug use on a federal background check form, and the third count was for possessing a gun while addicted to illegal drugs. In his reaction, on Tuesday after the verdict, President Joe Biden said, “I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process.” Biden has repeatedly said he would not use the powers of the presidency to pardon a guilty verdict for his son. Biden also said, “As I said last week, I am the president, but I am also a Dad. Jill and I love our son.” No sentencing date is set yet; Hunter Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and a fine of up to $750,000 at sentencing, though he likely will receive far less than the maximum as a first-time offender.
