Iranian Parliament has decided to block Strait of Hormuz just now.

20% of global oil passes through that strait.

Such blockade might impact energy security of India pushing up the global crude oil prices and risking the inflation rate.

Iran has just now attacked the US Military Base in Syria.

1. To maintain its hegemony, US will retaliate with massive force.
2. Iran regime change is on the cards now.
3. Israel will intensify its attacks on Iran.
4. Russia is engaged in Ukraine and will not support Iran.
5. China will not support Iran either - China has always stayed away from the military conflicts on ground.

Iran is fighting a futile and a useless battle right now.

India might be impacted in the following ways:

1. Crude Oil prices might go up further.
2. India will have to rely more on US, Russian, and African Oil for now.
3. International North South Transport Corridor will be impacted.
4. India-Middle East- Europe Economic Corridor will be impacted.
5. Afghanistan might not be able to access ports through Iran for now and will have to depend more on Pakistan for the same.
6. US will be cordial to Pakistan for someone because it will use the Pakistani bases to attack Iran.

This is the perfect opportunity for China to capture Taiwan. US is involved in Middle East.

Oman - first country of Middle East to impose Income Tax.

Reason - to reduce dependency on Oil.

Impact - FII and FDI may be impacted.

Other Middle East Countries may follow the same. This can impact the Indian Labour working in the Middle East because if Middle East countries will impose income tax, company's profit may be impacted and they will invest less in future projects.

The tax will be imposed starting 2028.

Oman is the first GCC country to do so.

Role of Social Media - GSM2

US embassy in India has asked visa applicants to make their Instagram, Twitter, etc Public so that embassy can check their posts and their activities.

Highlights the rising importance of social media from the GS Mains - II perspective.

A good fodder point for Mains.

Assam has declared Transgenders as OBC.

4. 1.5 hours for revision+ CSAT

Its a balanced timetable covering all the pillars and a sustainable timetable.

This is for extensive question practice.

Qatar has shut its airspace to all commercial flights. This has been done in anticipation of Iranian missile attack over US bases in Qatar.

Over a decade of experience in this industry and I have seen how students are trapped in coaching centers. Before you take admission in any coaching, always ponder on these points:

1. If you are joining the complete GS Batch - make sure that a dedicated faculty for every subject is there. Many institutes do mis-selling in this aspect. They project only 1-2 names and they don't have a credible faculty base for other subjects. Do ensure that they have faculties for every subject in the foundation batch.
2. This includes CSAT as well. Many coachings take CSAT casually and end up spoling the attempt of the aspirants as they don't have any credible faculty for CSAT.
3. Before joining anything, make sure to watch the YouTube videos of every teacher in the batch to make sure that you are able to understand their teaching.
4. Don't just join a batch because of the shine of 1 teacher cum influencer.
5. Once you're satisfied with the teaching of every teacher, then only pay the fees.
6. Once you've paid the fees, 75% of the coachings won't respond to your emails for complaints.

My best wishes.
