Cooling down the hot lands of the Middle East.

Oil prices have fallen, stock markets in many countries have risen and are recovering, and investors around the world and in the Middle East are less anxious as regional tensions have temporarily eased due to the ceasefire between Iran and Israel being strictly implemented and maintained.

No more air raid sirens, no more howling winds each night as missiles and fighter jets attacked targets. The happiest people are undoubtedly the people of Iran and Israel, and the entire Middle East region.

Many world leaders breathed a sigh of relief after nearly two weeks of tension. Anger had subsided, allowing all parties to consider steps toward building lasting peace, a goal the Middle East has been grappling with day after day, month after month, year after year.

A region rich in resources, strong in people, history, and culture, yet rarely peaceful enough to thrive. Perhaps the parties involved in the conflict fully understand this, and neither side wishes to prolong the retaliatory attacks against the other.

Looking at some countries in this region, it's clear that the lives of people in Qatar and Saudi Arabia are becoming the envy of many nations around the world, as these countries have emerged from political tensions, maintained peaceful policies, and paved the way for cooperation and development. As a result, they have become wealthy and prosperous, a dream for many other countries in the region and globally.

The Middle East is gradually cooling down. As peace emerges, countries like Iran and Israel will undoubtedly become economic and cultural powers, given their already strong cultural and technological foundations.

However, differences in thinking and action on sensitive issues need to be narrowed. Ambitions for military power, politics, etc., need to be harmonized with global policies, consistent with international law and the aspirations of the people.

Only by doing this will the Middle East experience lasting freshness!
