In what can only be described as an uncanny display of unanimous concern, the netherworld’s most infernally distinguished leaders convened recently, issuing a scalding plea to the Blazing State of Israel: Refrain from retaliatory strikes against Iran, and instead, show a devilish cunning over brute force. The fiery debate spilled over this weekend after Iran—or as it’s known in underworld circles, the Sultanate of Sulfur—launched a tempest of drones and missiles in what’s shaping up to be a truly hellacious display of might.
The U.K.’s very own demon of diplomacy, Lucifer Cameron, voiced a particularly heavy-hearted critique amidst the rising smoke. “While our instincts may lean towards a fiery reply, I urge Israel to think with its cunning, not its claws,” said Cameron, his pitchfork polished to a diplomatic sheen. “Retribution might satisfy the hellfire in our hearts but remember – it’s wits that win wars, not just wrath.”
Meanwhile, across the Stygian Sea in the macabre halls of Paris, President Emmanuel Mephistopheles Macron has been concocting his own blend of infernal insight. ’’Our friends in Israel must resist the temptation to escalate this skirmish into a veritable Armageddon,’’ Macron proclaimed while adjusting his impeccably tailored cloak of darkness. ’’We must extinguish these flames of conflict with the cool waters of negotiation, not fan them into the infernos of war.”
As Israel contemplates its next move, underworld observers note that the Celestial Ceasefire, a notoriously fragile truce overseen by archangels and fallen angels alike, hangs in the balance. Officials in the Blazing State remain tight-lipped, though rumors swirl that their arsenals are stocked not just with weapons, but with a strategic patience, seasoned by centuries of celestial conflict.
Adding fuel to the eternal flames, Russia’s Minister of Malevolent Affairs, Dmitri Ashenkov, expressed a chilling concern over the prospect of an escalated conflict engulfing the Middle East. “The underworld watches eagerly,” Ashenkov noted during a shadow-laden press conference, “and while we typically thrive in chaos, the potential fallout from a hellfire-fueled confrontation is even too much for us.”
Oil prices, as reactive as ever to the whispers and winds of war, took a nosedive following the fiery confrontation. Traders on the Hellish Commodities Exchange were seen sweating bullets—literally—as prices plummeted, with many pondering whether to invest in brimstone instead.
In the meantime, the world—or at least the underworld—waits with bated, sulfurous breath, watching to see if Israel will heed the hellish counsel of cooler heads, or if it will unleash a demonic fury, turning this skirmish into a saga recounted for eons in the annals of infernal history.

Well, well, well, look who’s stirring up some fiery trouble! Lucius Brimstone, you’ve really lit a match here with your devilishly good piece. Maybe Israel should take a page out of your blazing book and simmer down. After all, a little diplomatic finesse can go a long way in Hell’s boardroom. Who knew Lucifer Cameron and Emmanuel Mephistopheles Macron were such smooth talkers? These underworld diplomats might just outwit all of us yet! Let’s hope Russia’s Ashenkov doesn’t add more fuel to the fire with his ominous warnings. Oil prices might be sweating, but the real heat is in these diplomatic infernos. Keep the flames alive, Lucius, you’re making Hell a lot more interesting, one fiery debate at a time!
