Approximately three hours ago, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) conducted airstrikes on Iran using over 140 aircraft targeting key facilities in Tehran, including bases of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). This operation is reported to be meticulously planned to incapacitate Iran's military capabilities ahead of the U.S. presidential elections on November 5. As this incident unfolds, the escalating tension in the Middle East poses a direct threat to Thailand, which currently holds minimal oil reserves. Should Iran retaliate and close the Strait of Hormuz, Thailand's fuel imports could face serious challenges. Moreover, this situation raises concerns regarding regional security, prompting the Thai populace to better prepare for potential consequences, particularly in terms of maintaining domestic oil reserves. Reports indicate that Thailand has only 21 days' worth of oil reserves, and the government appears unprepared to manage this emerging crisis. There are calls for a wartime cabinet to be formed to better address and respond to this urgent situation. Citizens are urged to take precautions and prepare for possible oil shortages, highlighting the interconnectedness of international conflicts and local economic stability.
