If Pearl harbour not attacked, Hitler easily surrounding and captured entire Europe and UK because of USA they survived. Now the NATO isolated USA to reopen Hormuz. Their greatest mistake then their role in both Iraq and Afghanistan

Vietnam petrol price currently at SLR 245 equal to USD https://t.co/0k5BgE6d8V removed imports tax.Srilanka higher prices compared to it peers. The Government should remove the tax to get the price to below RS300/=

The UN secretary General should resign immediately as he failed to contain world peace which the organisation formed after WW2
He saw and lacklustre attitude where 70,0000 Palestine's slaughtered by the Israel
NOW SAME to Iran unwanted war killing false slogan of Nuclear weapons

Pakistan already taken precautionary measures like increased fuel prices, UK also increased fuel prices. But we waited until hardshok like 2022.

Unfortunately the crisis in the Middle East does not appear to be moving towards an early peaceful resolution. If the conflict prolongs Sri Lanka’s main sources of foreign exchange earnings could come under pressure. Exports, tourism and worker remittances may all be affected.

At the same time our import bill may escalate, particularly for essential commodities such as oil, coal, grains and fertilizer. In simple terms, while our foreign exchange inflows may weaken, our outward payments may increase. This combination can quickly place serious strain on the balance of payments.

We have seen a similar situation before. During the Covid pandemic and the Russia Ukraine conflict Sri Lanka was dangerously exposed to foreign currency shortages. The resulting pressure on the rupee and the economy ultimately culminated in the economic crisis of 2022.

There are important lessons from that experience.

The government should proactively run simulations under three possible scenarios. One month, three months and six months of continued conflict. Based on those assessments timely policy responses may be necessary.

Prudent precautionary measures may include careful management of fuel consumption, reconsidering vehicle imports, curbing non essential luxury imports and closely monitoring foreign exchange inflows and outflows. The objective must be to preserve stability and prevent another balance of payments crisis.

Sri Lanka has come a long way since the hardships of 2022. It would be wise to remain vigilant and prepared for external shocks.

My sincere hope however is that the conflict is resolved quickly and that peace prevails in the region and across the world.

I disagree. Iran maintains with supplying weapons to many terrorist outfits in the world including Huthi in Yemen, Hezbullah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza strip. Iranians suffered decades because of mullahs administration.

[Jeevan Thondaman @JeevanThondaman]

We can condemn Iran’s leadership amongst other countries and still say this clearly.
It is not for the United States to decide who remains in power and who is removed, imprisoned or executed. That path leads to instability.

England present day have no longer players like Dennis Amiss ,John Edrich to play admirable test cricket instead poor quality men cause to the downfall .

[Michael Vaughan @MichaelVaughan]

England had so many chances in this series but fundamentally they have lost to a better cricket team .. Not the highest quality series I have seen but it’s been very entertaining .. #Ashes

[lakshman maddumahewa @LMaddumahewa]

England defieted consecutively. It Not surprised as current composition including couch pathetic display. It had no John Edrich,No Elion Knot, many stars when England represented. Pathetic captaincy and poor coaching.

[M U M Ali Sabry @alisabrypc]

The Opposition Leader’s emotion reflects the country’s pain, understandable after such devastation.

However, cancelling the IMF agreement and relying on international phone calls is not a recovery plan.

Sri Lanka must rebuild stronger through discipline, reforms and growth, not policy swings driven by crisis sentiment.

Knee jerk reaction will have like in the past even worse consequences.

[lakshman maddumahewa @LMaddumahewa]

@Dailymirror_SL Stupid. He waits/expect more catastrophic. Foolish politician.

[lakshman maddumahewa @LMaddumahewa]
