"Stay updated with our Live Blog for minute-by-minute coverage of the Israel Iran War including breaking news, missile attacks, and Middle East crisis Latest Updates"

This appeals to a sense of urgency and ongoing, developing events, encouraging continuous attention.

"Now, a month later, the conflict has left physical scars not only in the vicinity of Iran, but as far as Europe, on the island of Cyprus."

This statement uses a broad geographic scope to imply widespread and serious impact, aiming to hold attention by suggesting a far-reaching, consequential event.

"Renowned economist and Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs has sharply criticised the ongoing conflict"

Immediately establishes Sachs's high-level credentials to lend weight to his criticisms.

"accusing US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of igniting the crisis despite warnings from experts."

Invokes an unnamed collective of 'experts' whose warnings were ignored, creating an implicit sense that the actions taken were against informed advice.

"The Times of India (online) spoke to renowned economist and public policy analyst Professor Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University over the ongoing conflict."

Repeats Sachs's credentials, reinforcing his authority and positioning him as a credible source for analysis on foreign policy and conflict.

"The professor accuses US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of starting the conflict against the advice of experts."

Creates an 'us vs. them' dynamic by portraying Trump and Netanyahu as actors against the advice of 'experts' and implicitly, against better judgment. This establishes a group to be opposed.

"Sachs says, “The US motivation is that it wants control all over the world. It wants to control the Middle East, partly through Israel doing its dirty business.”"

This quote creates a strong 'us vs. them' dynamic, portraying the US (and by extension Israel) as an antagonist seeking global dominance and engaging in 'dirty business,' which could activate a tribal opposition against these entities.

"The world has its eyes fixed on the choked Strait of Hormuz. Although far from the scene of action, countries across the world are facing the consequences of this conflict as the free flow of oil through the arteries of economies is affected."

Uses evocative language like 'choked Strait of Hormuz' and 'arteries of economies' to instill fear about widespread economic instability and global impact.

"Sachs suggests that the current situation has increased the likelihood of miscalculation and a prolonged conflict. 'We're drifting towards an expanded war. I think it is escalating. I do not think that it is getting under control.'"

These statements directly aim to generate fear and anxiety about an uncontrollable, escalating conflict and the risks of a broader war.

"The risk of attacks on energy infrastructure threatens global oil supplies, which is driving fuel prices sharply and triggering economic instability throughout the world."

This statement explicitly states a threat to global oil supplies and economic instability, designed to elicit fear.

"“We're just on the verge of blowing up the world's energy supplies; oil prices could be $130, $140, $150 a barrel”"

Directly warns of catastrophic economic consequences ('blowing up the world's energy supplies') and high oil prices, designed to induce strong economic fear.

"Without such efforts from global leaders, the conflict could continue, which would lead to a broader regional war and significant global repercussions, according to Professor Sachs."

This creates a sense of urgency, framing the situation as rapidly deteriorating without immediate action, thereby instilling anxiety and prompting a desire for intervention.
