War in Iran and tension in Ukraine: "We don't need a nuclear weapon to impact the entire world"

Now15 September 2026 at 18:24

Analyst Daniela Nunes commented on the war in Iran and the tension in Ukraine, stating that it is not necessary to resort to a nuclear weapon for a conflict to have a worldwide impact. Her statements come in the context of an analysis of the geopolitical developments in these two regions.

Nunes noted that it does not suit any of the sides involved in the Middle East conflict to exit the dispute without a clear victory. This position reflects the complexity and intensity of the confrontation in that region.

The analyst also highlighted that the use of control over the Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb as a strategic instrument has significantly altered the rules of global economic dispute. These straits are crucial maritime routes for international energy trade.

Why this matters

The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine continue to affect global economic stability, with the control of strategic maritime routes changing the dynamics of international trade. Readers are affected by the potential economic and energy consequences arising from these conflicts, which can impact prices and supply chains worldwide.
