QATAR PERSPECTIVE

Al Jazeera and Gulf Times provide the most comprehensive and critical coverage of the war. On day 63, Al Jazeera calculates the real war cost — the Pentagon's official $25 billion is a massive undercount; the true figure could exceed $1 trillion when accounting for military equipment losses, oil shock effects, and indirect economic damage. Another exclusive: the resurgence of Somali piracy linked to the Iran war. The closure of Hormuz has rerouted thousands of ships around Africa, creating an opportunity for Gulf of Aden pirates — a connection Al Jazeera alone documents systematically.
