[size=52]Newspaper: Iran may use Iraq for any military confrontation with America[/size]

[size=45]The echoes of the bombing of two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman continued to dominate for the second consecutive day the concerns of the British newspapers, which were devoted to many opinion and analysis articles as well as the reports of their correspondents.
[size=45]"The conflict may spread throughout the region," the Independent's I newspaper reported.[/size]
[size=45]According to author John Kemp, the incident in the Gulf of Oman could contribute to igniting conflict and war in the entire region.[/size]
[size=45]Despite the threats that Iran has been threatening the United States, if it wants to close the Strait of Hormuz, the closure will not last for more than a few days, the writer says. Washington will push for military intervention to open the important waterway.[/size]
[size=45]The article continues to assume that even if the United States escorts and escorts all ships and tankers passing through the strait, Iran will not be able to disrupt or attack these ships, as they are originally trying to avoid a military confrontation with the United States face to face.[/size]
[size=45]But the writer of the article sees that the problem will not end here, as any military confrontation may turn Iran to transfer its confrontation with the United States to other areas through its allies in Yemen and eastern Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan as well.[/size]
[size=45]The article concludes that the Strait of Hormuz will remain a high-tension zone that could ignite a war that both the United States and Iran are willing to avoid.[/size]
[size=45]The Financial Times has published a report written by three of its correspondents that Trump's accusation that Iran was behind the twin bombings could contribute to increased tensions between the Gulf states and Iran.[/size]
[size=45]The report quoted French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Laudrine as warning that the bombing of the two tankers was fueling the fire in a burning area and appealing to all sides to exercise restraint and not to escalate.[/size]
[size=45]His German counterpart, Haikou Mas, said that "the video presented by the United States is not enough evidence of Iran's involvement."[/size]
[size=45]Both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which suffered a similar incident last month, welcomed US statements, toughened sanctions on Iran and increased US military presence in the region.[/size]
[size=45]Richard Spencer wrote an article in The Times talking about a Western proposal to place a military escort escorting all tankers in sensitive waterways.[/size]
[size=45]The article suggests that the proposal came after the bombing of the two carriers in the Gulf of Oman, which led to increased tension with Iran.[/size]
[size=45]European officials believe that Iran is responsible for the incident but that they tend to conduct a separate investigation.[/size]
[size=45]European officials are quoted as explaining that this action is based on the urgent need now to protect tankers and cargo ships in one of the world's most important and crowded corridors.[/size]
[size=45]The problem lies in choosing the neutral body that will manage the implementation of this procedure, as well as how to organize and arrange it in cooperation with other states and allies in the Gulf region, one official said.[/size]
[size=45]The writer, in a cynical way, thanks to the increased tension in the Gulf region, which has pushed all countries affected by this to increase their military presence in the region and send reinforcements to protect their interests.[/size]
[size=45]The article says that Iran may be behind the bombing, as it suffers from a severe economic crisis and fears of the return of demonstrations to the streets, and may resort to such behavior to draw the attention of the Iranian street to the American threat and find a way out of this impasse.[/size]
[size=45]Patrick Wintour wrote a report in The Guardian that the United States accuses Iran of holding the crew of the Norwegian carrier that was hit in the Gulf of Oman.[/size]
[size=45]The report says that the crew of the Norwegian ship, made up of 11 Russians, 11 Filipinos and one Georgian, is in custody, while Iranian authorities say they are holding them only until they are sure that the situation is safe for them to return to their carrier.[/size]
[size=45]In the Guardian, Julian Burger wrote an analytical article evaluating the results of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to Iran.[/size]
[size=45]"It was destined to be one of the worst mediation efforts at the moment. Abe, who is visiting Iran as the first high-ranking official in 40 years, appears to be receiving a rebuke from Iran's supreme leader, and the Japanese carrier's bombing was made worse," the article said.[/size]
[size=45]The article goes on to explain how Khamenei summoned the television cameras to attend the meeting to show the world that the purpose of the visit is to deliver a message from the US President to Iran, and that he wasted his time.[/size]
[size=45]Trump put the prime minister in an unenviable position when he chirped on the social networking site, Twitter, saying he had nothing to do with the visit and that he was not asked to send a message to anyone, and that he was driven by his goodwill.[/size]
[size=45]Gillian Ambrose also wrote a Guardian report about the fear of rising energy prices in the world as a result of the bombing and the escalation of tension in the Gulf.[/size]
[size=45]The reason for this rise is the fear that Iran may close the Strait of Hormuz, the important strategic corridor through which oil supplies pass.[/size]
[size=45]The report quoted one of London's leading overseas transport brokers as saying that a large number of tanker companies refuse to sail in the area at present without guarantees, and many are demanding military escort for their carriers.[/size]
[size=45]The article concludes that although many countries may not be affected by what is happening there and may be looking for another source to buy oil and gas derivatives away from countries located in the Strait of Hormuz, but the lack of supply because of what is happening there will certainly lead to the rise Prices and increasing demand from other oil and gas producing countries.[/size]
