The already tense West Asia situation took a potentially disastrous turn on April 1, when an attack on Iran’s diplomatic complex in Damascus Syria, left seven military advisors of the feared Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) dead.

Blaming Israel for the military strike (Israel hasn’t claimed responsibility for it), Iran vowed revenge, sparking fears of a wider regional conflict that could further destabilise the global economy.
