Siavash Ardalan, senior BBC reporter, recently analyzed the recent developments in Iran's behavior on the international stage. He stated that Iran has been progressing systematically and step-by-step since the beginning of the war and is now looking to influence electoral dynamics by increasing oil prices on the eve of the elections in the United States and Israel.
Recent Developments and Impact on the Oil Market
Ardalan further explained that with the increase in attacks on oil tankers, Iran likely wants to change the oil market in its favor. This action could affect global oil prices and, in a way, influence the electoral process in other countries as well. As elections in the United States and Israel are approaching, Iran is seeking to draw attention and exert pressure through these developments.

New Threats from the IRGC Spokesperson
In this context, the spokesperson for the IRGC has also referred to its new objectives and announced that if a new attack on Iran begins, it will target 7 internet cables connecting Asia to Europe. These threats indicate Iran's aggressive approach in the face of international tensions and could lead to the escalation of existing crises.
Ardalan assessed these threats as part of Iran's overall strategy to counter external pressures and emphasized that these developments could indicate future unrest in the region.
Potential Consequences for the Region and the World
Given these developments, it seems that Iran is trying to influence the election results by increasing tensions. This approach could lead to rising oil prices and consequently economic instability in oil-producing countries. Additionally, these actions could escalate tensions between Iran and Western countries as well as its neighboring countries, ultimately affecting regional stability.
Ardalan warned that this situation could lead to more serious crises and highlighted the increasing need for effective diplomacy and international cooperation to reduce tensions.
