Violence takes refuge in war. War is made up of Snakes and Ladders game where the one defeated is crushed with the might of the victorious. 

United States Operation Epic Fury and Israel’s Operation Lions Roar jointly against Irans retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 has turned this war into a concern for entire Europe and crisis for Middle east with its tourism taking a backseat while the rest of the world watches uneasily fearing the flames may spread further.India too has felt the impact of market stability,oil & energy alongwith concern of its large numbers of Indians settled in the Gulf region. 

President Donald Trump reasons  to eliminate  threats  from Iran to prevent them from having nuclear weapons and for  change of regime by eliminating its supreme leader Khamenei with his military brass  to the advantage of Netanyahu . Iran has fiercely retaliated by launching its missiles and drones on Israel and other Gulf countries having US military assets. Innocent civilians and children suffer from this mass destruction as death toll rises.

One can bomb the world into pieces but it cannot be bombed into Peace. Acts done in war is a crime in peace yet it is said that war is necessary for peace but in this age of civilization, lasting peace can only be achieved through better understanding, diplomacy and enhanced negotiations.
