Iran vs Israel: The Science of Nuclear Enrichment and World War 3 Fears | Jayasim Jayakumar
from The Jayasim Podcast · host Jayasim Jayakumar
The roots of the 2026 Middle East crisis trace back to 1953, when a covert operation codenamed Operation Ajax overthrew Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, permanently fracturing trust between Iran and the Western world. What followed was a chain of betrayals spanning decades — the installation of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the 1979 Iranian Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini, the devastating Iran-Iraq War, and the collapse of the JCPOA nuclear deal. Today, Iran has enriched uranium to 60 percent purity, just one technical step away from weapons-grade capability, prompting the United States and Israel to launch massive military strikes under Operation Epic Fury. The Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the world's oil flows, has effectively shut down, stranding 150 tankers and sending global energy prices soaring. India faces a direct economic shockwave with the rupee falling past 92 against the dollar, stock markets declining, and over 6,000 Indian sailors stranded in the Persian Gulf. From the science of uranium centrifuge enrichment to the NPT nuclear rulebook, from Iran's secret Bitcoin sanctions loophole to the crippling impact on global aviation, this video traces how seven decades of distrust, power struggles, and survival instincts brought the world to the brink.#jayasimjayakumar #jayasim #irancrisis2026 #middleeastconflict #straitofhormuz #uraniumenrichment #usirawar #israeliran #nuclearweapons #oilcrisis #indiaeconomy #geopolitics #operationajax #npt #jcpoa #tamilexplainer
