DECODE Live: Sudhir Chaudhary | Iran War Oil Crisis | Singapore PM Salary | IAS Officer Rakesh Mehta

In today’s episode of Decode With Sudhir Chaudhary, we analyse the latest escalation in the Iran war, where the US and Iran have attacked oil tankers and ships, pushing crude oil towards the $100-a-barrel mark. We also decode Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s massive salary hike, the death of former Delhi Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta, the viral 1980s AI photo trend and a bizarre incident in Bihar where a new SUV was lifted onto a rooftop to prevent theft.

The Iran war has entered another dangerous phase with the US military claiming it destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards targeted a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles. Iran, in retaliation, claimed it attacked 10 ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC has also warned that a restricted maritime area stretching from Chabahar into parts of the Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea will be announced, with sanctions for ships entering the zone. With oil tankers under attack and the Strait of Hormuz facing fresh risks, we decode whether the world is heading towards another major Oil Crisis.

The escalation has also raised questions about the safety of commercial shipping and the possibility of further attacks on US vessels. Two US vessels have reportedly been hit amid the latest confrontation, while five Iranian oil tankers were destroyed. We decode how the Iran-US war escalated again and what it could mean for global oil supplies, shipping routes and fuel prices.

Singapore has announced a major salary increase for Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, whose annual pay is set to rise by around 64% to $2.85 million, or nearly ₹27 crore a year. Singapore’s ministers already rank among the world’s highest-paid political leaders. Wong says the increase is necessary to attract top talent into politics, while acknowledging that political salaries are difficult and emotive. We decode why Singapore pays its political leaders so much and whether high salaries can actually improve governance.

Former Delhi Chief Secretary Rakesh Mehta was found dead at his Noida residence. Mehta had taken charge as Delhi’s Chief Secretary in 2007 during the Sheila Dikshit government and served in the post until his retirement in November 2010. We decode the circumstances surrounding his death and examine the less-discussed question of loneliness and pressure in the life of a successful bureaucrat.

The Internet is travelling back to the 1980s with a viral AI photo trend. Social media users, influencers and public figures are using AI tools and ChatGPT prompts to transform their photographs into retro 1980s-style images. Politicians including Piyush Goyal and Kiren Rijiju have also joined the trend. We decode why people are returning to the aesthetics, fashion and nostalgia of the 1980s in the age of artificial intelligence.

And finally, in Bihar’s Gopalganj, a man used a crane to lift his newly purchased Mahindra Scorpio Classic onto the rooftop of his two-storey house, reportedly to protect it from theft. We decode this unusual solution and the growing fear of vehicle theft.
