Iran’s war with Israel and America in the Middle East has been going on continuously for the last five weeks. Apart from the countries involved in the war, this war is also having a widespread impact on all other countries of the world, which is emerging as a global oil and energy crisis. Meanwhile, there is also a lot of discussion about a possible attack by America on Iran’s Kharg Island. US President Donald Trump has also openly threatened Iran regarding this. In such a situation, if America attacks Kharg Island, then this ongoing war between three countries can spread to the whole world, that is, there can be a danger of world war.
MJ Akbar speaks on the possibility of US-Iran war
Former Minister of State for External Affairs of India M.J. Akbar, in an exclusive conversation with ABP News on Tuesday (March 31, 2026), told about many possibilities regarding the ongoing war in the Middle East. He said that you should firmly believe that if America attacks Kharg Island, Iran will land its troops in Dubai and Bahrain. Although we cannot say what will happen at the end of the war, but you can accept it as confirmed.
He said, ‘If this happens, it will not turn into a World War, but a World Wide War, because now there is no world war like before.’
The war showed the US a mirror of Iran’s capability: Akbar
Akbar said, ‘In this war, Iran showed that even though America and Israel had thought that they would end the war in 48 hours, on the contrary, the nationalist sentiments of the people of Iran were awakened and it showed its technical capability. By killing Khamenei, Shias and Sunnis also united, who were never different on religion, but were different on governance.
He said, ‘Israel would never have imagined that Dimona would be attacked by an Iranian missile. By breaking their missile defense system, he attacked DIMONA, which is their Negev Nuclear Research Centre. He further said, ‘Iran was able to do this because it spends 4% of its GDP on Research and Development and it has 2,000 universities, which are their assets.’
Trump will not be able to put pressure on Gulf countries: Akbar
Former Union Minister of State M.J. Akbar said, ‘US President Donald Trump will not be able to put pressure on the Gulf countries to buy weapons, because neither their weapons are worth it nor did they enter this war with the Gulf countries.’
He said, ‘The crisis for the Gulf countries is that many of these countries had given their security architecture to America, which umbrella has now been broken and now a new security architect will be formed there, in which it has to be seen who all gets involved and what is the role of Israel and Iran.’
He further said, ‘Trump himself has said that he will complete this work next time. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu himself has said that more than half of the objectives have been achieved. However, a solution to the Strait of Hormuz problem will have to be found by all parties.
Akbar spoke on the role of India and Pakistan regarding mediation
During this exclusive conversation, former Minister of State for External Affairs M.J. Akbar also talked about the role of India and Pakistan in mediating the ongoing war between America and Israel with Iran. He said, ‘India should not have jumped into the fog, but now the fog is clearing. If India is invited for mediation, then India should play its role, because India is a strong country and everyone listens to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the other hand, Pakistan’s role is only that of a postman.
He said, ‘American President Donald Trump is with Pakistan because he knows that Pakistan will always bow before him and will do only what America wants.’
